The Summit is crucial in this mission, serving as a platform to promote and advance digital access for all. Since 2014, the Summit has established itself as the leading global event, highlighting and exposing new technological innovations and good practices in new ways of digital applications, content, and services. The Summit is designed to significantly impact attendees. It offers unique opportunities for engagement and networking with a diverse gathering of leading executives and accessibility professionals from government, industry, education, and advocacy organizations worldwide. The Summit offers various opportunities, including plenary breakout sessions, subject matter expert (SME) live-streamed interviews, networking side events, in-depth workshops, and the chance to network and participate in keynotes, plenary, and specialized breakout sessions, SME streamed interviews, dedicated topical sprints sessions, and other special featured events. An exclusive element of the Summit content and subject matter expert participation reach is its partnership with the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP), a division of G3ict, a global association of organizations and professionals that have joined together to define, promote, and improve the accessibility of services, products, and the environment for people with disabilities. The Summit draws an international audience and has expanded its mission over the years by offering M-Enabling Forums in Europe, Russia, Australia, and other parts of the world.

Who said accessibility couldn’t be fun? And… did you get framed yesterday? 😆 The accessibility movement is powered by expertise, advocacy, collaboration, and a community that knows how to have a good time together. These smiles from #mEnabling26 capture something we value about the M-Enabling Summit: bringing people together not only to tackle important challenges in digital accessibility, but to celebrate the people and relationships that keep this work moving forward. And this year, there’s even more to celebrate as G3ict marks 20 years of advancing digital inclusion worldwide. Serious mission. Great people. Plenty of fun along the way. We’re proud to be part of the accessibility movement. Are you? #MEnablingSummit #Accessibility #DigitalAccessibility #InclusiveTechnology #G3ict #IAAP

M-Enabling Summit 2026 Agenda Spotlight | Designing for a 120-Year Life: Accessibility, AI, and the Future of User Experience What does it mean to design digital experiences for longer lives and the changing abilities that come with them? At M-Enabling, leaders from the Call to Action Foundation (CTA Foundation), FrancesWest&Co, 3Play Media, GIA Longevity, G3ict - The Global Initiative for Inclusive ICTs, and Uber will examine how accessibility, aging, and AI are reshaping the practice of user experience. The panel will explore how changes in vision, hearing, mobility, cognition, and digital confidence affect how people work, access healthcare, manage finances, stay connected, and maintain independence. Speakers will also consider how AI can extend human capability while creating new barriers if diverse human abilities are not considered in its design. The discussion will offer practical insights into designing products and services that support people throughout longer lives while creating more usable, trusted, and inclusive experiences.
