For over 20 years, the OZeWAI conference has been run annually and attended by a keen bunch of participants and each year there have been interesting contributions from local and international players in the field of accessibility.
Resulting from research with our members and partners, OZeWAI is now working to a hybrid approach that is a little different and very much more exciting for everyone.
OZeWAI won’t necessarily have a single conference, instead we’ll be partnering with a variety of like-minded conferences over the year to hold a mix of in-person networking events, workshops and presentations.
Join knowledgeable digital accessibility experts, specialists and researchers from all over the world, as well as leaders in the industry, government and non-profit organisations to explore and support digital inclusion topics and ideas.
