Event Type: Virtual Events

📅 LinkedIn Live — Mexty Masterclass (60 min)

Too often, training is “digitalized” by simply putting a PowerPoint online. Let’s do the opposite: during this live session, we will build 3 interactive learning activities, ready to be reused immediately.

🎯 Goal: leave with a simple method you can apply starting tomorrow.

Agenda (60 minutes, live on LinkedIn)

1. PPT → Interactive Quiz (15 min) Turn a PowerPoint into a quiz with feedback (plus a quick scenario-based variant).
2. PDF → Microlearning + Quiz (15 min) Break down a dense PDF into short learning sequences with checkpoints to reinforce key ideas.
3. Compliance Intro Mini-Game (20 min) Create a short, engaging intro activity (5–7 minutes) to make mandatory compliance training more engaging (score/badge + feedback).

🎁 Bonus for participants: Free templates 10 credits to start your Mexty trial

➡️ Register for the LinkedIn event (link below) and activate the reminder.

And tell me in the comments: do you usually start from a PPT or a PDF when creating training?

Who gets to show up, participate, and fully engage in your event? The answer starts with accessibility. Join Disability Belongs™ for a free virtual training, Accessible By Design: Creating Inclusive Events That Work for Everyone, on Tuesday, June 9th at 1:30 p.m. ET, and learn how to plan events that open the door to more people from the very beginning. This interactive session will equip you with the tools to design events that are inclusive from the outset. You will learn why accessibility is foundational to effective events and how to integrate it across every stage of planning. The training will cover key considerations for in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats, with practical guidance you can apply immediately. By the end of the session, you will be able to identify common barriers to participation, communicate accommodations clearly, and design experiences that support physical, digital, sensory, and cognitive access. The session will also highlight how clear, complete information empowers attendees to make informed decisions about participation. The webinar includes live CART captioning and ASL interpretation to support access for a wide range of participants. A live Q&A at the end of the session will give you the opportunity to ask specific questions and get guidance tailored to your needs. All registered participants will receive a recording of the training and the slide deck afterward. Register today to develop your skills and create events that work for everyone.

Over the past decade, global policy discourse has increasingly focused on expanding “internet access” as a cornerstone of digital inclusion. Yet for persons with disabilities, connectivity alone does not translate into meaningful participation. A user may be connected, possess a device, and have basic digital skills—and still remain excluded due to inaccessible design, incompatible platforms, or poorly implemented technologies. This gap calls for a conceptual shift: from access to agency. At the same time, the rapid integration of artificial intelligence into digital ecosystems is reshaping how users interact with technology. AI-powered tools—such as automated captioning, voice interfaces, and assistive agents—hold transformative potential. However, they also introduce new risks, including bias, unreliable outputs, and inaccessible design layers that may deepen exclusion if left unaddressed. Against this backdrop, accessibility must be reframed not as a technical afterthought, but as a governance, rights, and development issue—central to debates on AI, digital public infrastructure, and inclusive innovation.

Knowledge Pitstop is a space for Telkom Indonesia employees to share expertise, best practice, and relevant insight to enhance working capabilities and expand employee knowledge. In the first series of Expert Insight x Knowledge Pitstop Series: Design for Everyone, Accessibility in Digital & AI Era, we will discuss how accessibility in digital design is not only the best practice, but also a growing legal and strategic imperative across the globe. This session will cover what digital accessibility means in plain language, why it matters for the 22 million Indonesians living with disabilities, and how Indonesia’s upcoming regulatory landscape (referencing Komdigi’s draft ministerial regulation on accessible digital public services) is shaping the way organizations must think about inclusive design. More importantly, we’ll show how AI tools available today make accessibility achievable for everyone — not just designers. Attendees will walk away with three simple habits they can apply immediately to any digital content they create or publish.
