TechShare Pro meets the needs of everyone in your digital eco-system - from decision-makers and business strategists to specialists such as designers, project managers, product owners, UX researchers and accessibility practitioners.
Whatever your role it will provide a roadmap for future development, allow you update your skills and help you deliver accessible and inclusive projects first time, every time.
TechShare Pro offers insights and skills to everyone involved in commissioning or delivering a digital project - helping you build accessibility and inclusion into every stage.
Building digital products and services that can be used by every customer offers a tangible competitive advantage and measurable return on investment.
New UK legislation requires higher standards of accessibility for the public sector - which will have a knock-on effect on the organisations which supply it.
There is a growing network of accessibility and inclusive design specialists in the UK - come and join the community.
Last year's event was hosted by Barclays in Canary Wharf and attended by 180 people. Check out the video highlights for a flavour of what to expect in 2019.
Our goal is to deliver an event that anyone can access.
The building is fully wheelchair accessible, Aira will provide guided support for people with visual impairments, we will have live captioning for all activities and we are looking for ways to manage the programme to make it accessible and inclusive.
We can accommodate support workers but we must be told about them when booking as we have a strict limit on numbers we can accommodate in the space.

Please contact us before buying a ticket if you have any concerns about accessibility and we will do our best to accommodate you.
