Accessibility has taken on even greater meaning in our new normal where digital experiences are critical in order to complete daily activities. With grocery stores and restaurants moving to order-ahead and delivery models, and many healthcare providers recommending telehealth services, it’s now more important than ever for businesses to consider people with disabilities when designing user experiences. The brands that build seamless digital experiences inclusive of all users will be the ones that thrive today, tomorrow and going forward as consumers become increasingly dependent on apps and websites.
Join Applause and a guest speaker from the American Foundation for the Blind to find out how you can build accessible digital experiences. Applause’s Inge De Bleecker and the American Foundation for the Blind’s Tanner Gers will explain the importance of accessibility and usability, the benefits of inclusive experiences and the best practices for delivering seamless UX to all users.
Tanner is a professional speaker, business consultant, and leads business development for the American Foundation for the Blind’s Consulting division (AFB). Tanner earned his BA in Communications from the University of Arizona, MBA from Louisiana State University at Shreveport, and his Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies credential from the International Association of Accessibility Professionals. Tanner lost his sight in an auto accident as an adult, which has given him a unique opportunity to leverage his business acumen, first-hand experience, and entrepreneurial mindset for creating positive change for the blind and organizations interested in the business case of authentic inclusion. From recruitment to retirement, mobile to web, and ecomm to workplaces, Tanner knows the opportunities inherent to people with disabilities and helps organizations capitalize on the same.
