We had such a wonderful time at the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference last week.

It was great reconnecting with longtime friends, meeting new people, and engaging in thoughtful conversations about accessibility throughout the event.

One moment that really stood out was when Stevie Wonder shared his appreciation for the assistive technology community and the important work being done to support people with disabilities. Moments like that are a powerful reminder of why accessibility matters.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the week so special.

We always appreciate the opportunity to connect with this amazing community—sharing ideas, learning from one another, and talking about the technology that helps make everyday digital experiences more accessible.
