Important note
Google Maps currently incorrectly pins the location around the corner on Crosby Street. The entrance is not on Crosby. The entrance is on Spring Street, inside the Marc Jacobs International building. It is roughly halfway between Crosby & Lafayette, almost directly across Spring Street from the Chipotle restaurant.
Description
This presentation details the real-world journey of building a sustainable accessibility program by shifting from a reactive "fix-it" mode to a proactive culture where accessibility is integrated from the start. We will share the practical strategies & key lessons learned, from building a compelling business case to implementing a two-pronged strategy for managing existing debt while building for the future.
We'll also introduce the concept of an accessibility maturity model as a tool for charting your course. Attendees will leave with a blueprint of actionable steps for creating lasting impact in their own organizations.
