Earlier this spring, Associate Professor Shanna Kattari was the keynote speaker at Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2026, a virtual accessibility event that supports conversation, thinking and learning about access and inclusion. This year’s conference theme, “Design, Develop, Deliver," focused on refining digital accessibility skills and making accessibility an integral part of everything we do — from the way we communicate, design and innovate, to how we create a more equitable future for everyone. 

The event was sponsored by U-M, the University of Minnesota and the University of Illinois system, and organized by a volunteer group of dedicated employees from the sponsoring universities.
