Access:Given (A:G) is a one-day digital accessibility conference, created to be as inclusive and accessible as possible because we believe accessibility should be a ‘given’ in society – not granted.

Access:Given is curated by Michelle and Ellen who came together to create a conference they’d love to attend. Both are neurodivergent and strive to create accessible digital products and reduce overwhelm for everyone. Michelle lives with a chronic illness which can result in brain fog, and Ellen lives with a toddler who takes up a lot of brain capacity.

We’ll have:

• no over-lapping speakers, to avoid decision paralysis
• breaks between each speaker, to allow for loo breaks and scrolling
• a sensory space, for escape and respite
• an open-door policy, for late-arrivers and early-leavers to come and go
