Events & Activities

This year the iCIMS theme for GAAD is Access for All. We will be highlighting the importance of digital accessibility in the future of tech, as we discuss exciting developments and growing global awareness. We will also look back at how far iCIMS has come over the past eight years, since we started celebrating GAAD, and highlight our goals for the future. This will be a hybrid event for employees of iCIMS.

We are inviting internal employees to an event where we talk about the importance of shifting left to include accessibility throughout the project lifecycle. We will show examples of how it has helped within the company and ask team members to find and send evidence from their work that they are as well. There will be a chance of winning prizes and it will be a fun, light event for those participating.
