News
2nd edition Sign design guide now available to buy!
The new edition of the guide continues to provide practical guidance to experts and non-specialists alike, based on both best practice in inclusive design and the latest research.
Third party events
the 7th annual Design + Accessibility Summit, the essential how-to event for creating accessible content. Across four days of practical, expert-led sessions, you’ll learn proven workflows for creating accessible content with InDesign, Acrobat, Illustrator, PowerPoint, Word, Canva, and more.
Designing accessible technologies and services plays a vital role in facilitating social and civic inclusion for people with diverse abilities; yet inclusion is equally vital to creating them. The methods through which research and design are conducted should themselves be inclusive, so that people with diverse abilities can participate as co-designers and co-owners of the work. Nevertheless, researchers working across ability-diverse populations often find themselves without a clear starting point. Existing guidelines are scarce and often difficult to adapt to specific contexts and communities. Translating resources into practice requires tailored vocabularies and procedures that are rarely documented or shared.
How do people actually navigate a space? How can designers make that journey clearer, more intuitive, and more accessible? Start your SEGD Conference experience in Kansas City with Wayfinding, Planning, and Design, a four-hour, hands-on Bootcamp.
