New York PL’s Accessible Technology Conference 2025 (Free in-person & virtual)

Join us Saturday, October 18 and Sunday, October 19 at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (or virtually via Zoom) for The New York Public Library’s second Accessible Technology Conference—a free and inclusive conference focused on the impact, affordances, and evolution of accessible technologies used by Blind, low-vision, and print-disabled people. 

This free and inclusive conference will focus on the impact, affordances, and evolution of accessible technologies used by Blind, low-vision, and print-disabled people. 

Register here to attend in person; register here to attend via Zoom.

This year’s conference centers around the theme, “Connect, Innovate, Act.” The sessions will focus on community building and peer support, creativity in tech, new and emerging technologies, and systems of resistance.

The conference is open to all community members and is free to presenters and participants alike. Our conference team commits to a fully accessible conference, including providing accessible conference materials, an accessible venue, ASL, CART, and other access needs. 

Register here to join us in person for the free conference and request needed accommodations; space is limited, so register soon. Can't make it in person? We'd love to have you join us on Zoom—register here for that option.
