A panel on using creative technology to prioritise inclusive design
Research suggests that accessibility issues cause up to a quarter of potential digital audiences to drop off, at a cost of approximately £17bn a year to the UK economy. Aer Studios will host a panel event to discuss why this continues to be the case, and how a creative technology approach grounded in inclusive design can pave the way forward.
Facilitated by our Chief Strategy Officer, Scott Ewings, our panel will include a groundbreaking healthtech startup who have built in a truly accessible experience from the off, an inclusive design specialist who has a growing reputation on the international circuit, and our own Chief Technology Officer, James Hobbs. The discussion will unpick the common themes that neglect users, strategies to course correct and best-in-class examples.
What attendees will get out of it:
Insights into how organisations are missing the mark with tickbox accessibility
A better understanding of commonly overlooked user groups
Real-life examples of inclusive design in action
Practical advice to consider in building more accessible digital experiences
Hosted at Gather Round’s accessible Trinity Church venue, attendees will have the chance to put their own questions to the expert panel in an open and welcoming setting.

Accidental managers are usually first-time people managers who’ve been thrown in at the deep end – still doing their old job while figuring out how to manage people through trial and error.
If someone on your team has just stepped into management, they’re probably juggling people and projects, wearing two hats, and figuring it out as they go. That’s exactly why this Accidental Managers half-day workshop exists.
Join Fi Craig to feel confident leading people, define your own version of good management, and gain practical frameworks to guide you as you figure the rest out. Gain confidence and simple tools to start leading a team effectively straight away.
