AI: Accessibility Ally or Adversary?

Thursday, October 22, 2026 from 2:00-3:00 p.m. ET
FREE, open to everyone

AI feels both omniscient and inescapable. It can be hard to know how incorporate it into practical use. In this panel, experts Hiram Kuykendall (Microassist), Lilia LaGesse (Heard Creative Co.), and Chris McKewon (Xceptional) will discuss when to integrate AI into accessibility workflows — and when to avoid it. Specially geared toward arts organizations, the discussion will cover daily operations, employment, the creation of accessible marketing materials, and more.  A follow-up Q&A offers the chance to get your AI questions answered by these experts.
