Please join Aquent Australia in Melbourne for an exclusive, invite-only Leadership Think Tank focused on the future of digital accessibility.

Our Think Tank will provide an excellent opportunity to connect with other leaders passionate about championing and embedding digital accessibility within their organisations.

You’ll have the opportunity to hear from Andrea Boundy, UI & Visual Design Principal at Telstra, who will share insights from Telstra's journey toward embedding accessibility into design culture, highlighting practical strategies, and leadership lessons for design teams of all sizes.

Andrea will share:

Why accessibility is a business and human imperative at Telstra
Telstra's six-year evolution toward inclusive design and the road that lies ahead
The enablers that have embedded accessibility into everyday design practice
How systems, people, and a culture of feedback continue to drive sustainable change and growth

We will also facilitate open Think Tank discussions after Andrea’s presentation, where leaders can share the challenges they are facing, how they’ve overcome them, and be inspired by others in the room.

Our Think Tank is limited to 30 leaders, so if you’re keen to join us, please reserve your spot ASAP so you don’t miss out.
