The new AccessU

This year we will be introducing a new AccessU, blending asynchronous learning and live events! Onsite or Online, AccessU will provide the best training in accessible digital design.

St. Edwards University in Austin, Texas will host our onsite activities and events. Their state of the art classrooms and facilities allow for live broadcasting to our virtual participants.

Our asynchronous sessions will include access to all pre-recorded sessions through our Learning Center, where participants can engage with the best practices of accessible design at their own pace. There will be a schedule of live Q&A sessions, so participants can follow up with the instructors on any questions they have.

In addition to our social events in Austin, we will be hosting virtual social events and coordinating satellite events for those interested in meeting up with peers in their area.
