Events & Activities

CarMax & Edmunds, leaders in the automotive research and retail space, are hosting Corbb O’Connor of Level Access to discuss current trends in accessibility.

Internal event for our Design and UX Research teams.

In celebration of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) on May 15, we invite all team members to join a special seminar dedicated to promoting digital inclusion. This session will highlight the importance of accessibility in our work, explore real-world barriers faced by people with disabilities, and demonstrate how thoughtful design and technology can bridge the gap. Together, let’s deepen our understanding, share best practices, and reaffirm our commitment to creating accessible digital experiences for all.

At Build Capable, we prioritize accessibility and inclusion in everything we do. Our commitment shows up every day in our team culture, our services, our products, and how we engage with our community. For this Global Accessibility Awareness Day, we’re inviting you into a conversation about our accessibility journey.

We’ll discuss:

• How our accessibility journey started and has evolved over time.
• How we operationalize building more inclusive learning experiences.
• Bringing new employees, consultants, and vendors into our journey.
• Our approach to creating Build Capable XCL with accessibility in mind from the start.
• Our experience with Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs).
• Lessons learned and what’s next in our accessibility work

You can join us in Zoom for the discussion or catch the LinkedIn livestream on the Build Capable LinkedIn homepage. We will post the recording to our YouTube channel with accurate closed captions and transcript after the event.

Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) bietet enorme Chancen für digitale Barrierefreiheit, indem sie den Zugang zu Bildungsinhalten erleichtert und assistive Technologien verbessert. Gleichzeitig stellt sie jedoch eine Herausforderung für den Datenschutz dar, da viele KI-Systeme personenbezogene Daten verarbeiten. In meinem Vortrag untersuche ich dieses Spannungsfeld und zeige, wie Hochschulen und Bildungseinrichtungen KI-gestützte Technologien verantwortungsvoll nutzen können. Dabei werden sowohl rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen als auch technische Lösungsansätze vorgestellt, um eine Balance zwischen Inklusion und Datenschutz zu schaffen. Ziel ist es, ein Bewusstsein für die Herausforderungen und Potenziale von KI in der digitalen Lehre zu schaffen und gemeinsam praktikable Strategien für eine sichere und barrierefreie Nutzung zu diskutieren.

In the spirit of GAAD and as the next webinar in our monthly Workday Accessibility Level Up series, we’ll be talking about some of the many kinds of assistive technologies that people with different disabilities use. We’ll also discuss things to keep in mind when building a digital product to make sure people with disabilities, and the assistive tools they use, can interact with your product.

Der 60-minütige Zoom-Workshop „Digitalisierung und Barrierefreiheit in der Lehre“ vermittelt praxisnah, wie Lehrende digitale Barrierefreiheit umsetzen können. Nach einer kurzen Einführung werden rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen, Herausforderungen für Studierende mit Beeinträchtigungen und bewährte Methoden vorgestellt. Anschließend lernen die Teilnehmenden barrierefreie Tools und Plattformen kennen. In interaktiven Breakout-Sessions erarbeiten sie eigene Lehrkonzepte, die im Plenum präsentiert und diskutiert werden. Ein „Bad Practice“-Beispiel verdeutlicht häufige Fehler. Der Workshop schließt mit einer Fragerunde und weiterführenden Ressourcen. Zoom-Features wie Breakout-Räume und Untertitel unterstützen die Barrierefreiheit.

To mark Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), we’re hosting a conversation with the people at the heart of digital inclusion — the apprentices making real change happen. Hear directly from Purple Beard apprentices working across different sectors, as they share how they’re helping teams build more accessible, user-friendly digital experiences. From improving day-to-day tools to influencing long-term strategy, these are the stories of accessibility in action — told by the next generation of practitioners.

Webinar: More Customers, Better Conversion – The Business Power of an Accessible Website

Starting June 28, 2025, compliance with the European Web Accessibility Act (WAA) will become mandatory for all commercial websites and digital applications. But this isn’t just about legal compliance — it’s a clear competitive advantage for those who act early. Our webinar is designed for e-commerce decision-makers — owners, commercial and digital leaders — to demonstrate how web accessibility goes beyond ethics and becomes a tangible business asset. In line with the spirit of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) — which promotes digital access for all — we’ll show you how to achieve: a broader customer base by including users with visual, auditory, or cognitive impairments, a better customer experience, leading to brand loyalty and repeat purchases, higher conversion rates through simpler, faster, and more efficient websites, and legal security by avoiding fines and reputational damage from non-compliance. Discover how your digital platform can become a place where every customer can effortlessly complete their journey — and why this makes strong business sense in both the short and long term. Join Precognox’s webinar and explore the business opportunities of digital inclusion — presented clearly and backed by real-world examples.
