Is technology transforming accessibility, or leaving it behind? The CSUN Assistive Technology Conference brings together accessibility leaders to explore the answers to this question, along with the latest advancements in digital accessibility and assistive technology.
In “CSUN 2025: The Future of Digital Accessibility — AI, Assistive Tech, and Inclusive Experiences,” we examined the CSUN sessions that will be covering AI and emerging assistive technologies and how these trends are shaping the future of digital accessibility.
For organizations navigating accessibility at scale, the challenge lies in embedding sustainable practices into workflows, meeting legal requirements, and ensuring that accessibility is not just a checkbox but a continuous process.
At CSUN 2025, our team of accessibility, usability, and assistive technology (AT) experts will share practical strategies for ensuring accessibility is not just implemented but sustained at scale. This is why we’re focusing on the sessions that will cover scaling accessibility across organizations, digital platforms, and compliance-driven initiatives.
