Mark your calendars for Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) on May
15, 2025. This online event will get the accessibility community talking,
thinking, and learning more about digital access and inclusion.

This year’s keynote presenter will be Dr. Ludmilla Praslova
<https://www.vanguard.edu/about/vunews/posts/~board/news/post/this-is-ludmila-praslova>,
author of The Canary Code <https://thecanarycode.com/>. As a
first-generation academic and a neurodivergent woman, Dr. Praslova knows
first-hand that single-focus “inclusion initiatives” leave people behind.
She supports organizations in creating human-centric, culture-add,
productive work environments through her expertise in organizational
change, global diversity, systemic intersectional inclusion, creating
neuroinclusive organizations, and supporting autism inclusion at work.

GAAD will also feature engaging sessions for people at all levels of
accessibility awareness and skills. Check out the GAAD webpage
<https://z.umn.edu/gaad> for more information about the keynote and
presentation tracks. Registration information will be available in April.
If you have any questions, please email gaad-conference at umn.edu to reach
the planning committee.
