Over the course of the evening, hundreds of accessibility advocates, artists, leaders, and allies gathered to reflect on what it means to have technology that works for everyone, including people with disabilities: an Apple Watch that tracks wheelchair pushes, an iPhone that speaks, an iPad that works for every learner, or a Mac that works seamlessly with a wide range of assistive technologies. Attendees from a wide range of disability communities reflected on how they launched their artistic careers, started companies, and made their messages known, with Apple’s accessibility features powering them along the way.
