AbilityNet's third Annual Attitudes to Digital Accessibility Survey shows how attitudes to accessibility are changing in the C-Suites of organisations of all shapes and sizes - and it also tells us whether they are delivering on the promises they are making. In this webinar, guest speakers from IAAP and Open Inclusion join AbilityNet to share the findings of AbilityNet's third annual global survey into Attitudes to Digital Accessibility. How are organisations and professionals across the globe investing their time and effort in digital accessibility, and what can we learn that can help us in our own organisations?
