Events & Activities

As part of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), this design challenge invites creatives in Indonesia to reflect on a simple question: why does accessibility matter? Participants are encouraged to create and share visual content based on their own perspectives and experiences. The interpretation is open, as long as it stays connected to the theme. Participants will share their work on social media, helping amplify the message and reach broader audiences. Through this process, the challenge hopes to open up more space for voices, stories, and ideas around accessibility, including everyday barriers, inclusive design, and how accessibility shapes people’s lives.

On May 7 at 11 AM ET, join Christopher M. Lee, PhD, CEO & President of the G3ict and Managing Director of the IAAP, and Corbb O’Connor, Director of Thought Leadership at Level Access, for a practical conversation about sustaining leadership support and building impactful learning programs in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. You’ll leave with concrete ideas for strengthening accessibility education across your organization and positioning your efforts in ways that executives recognize and support long-term.

Join GivePulse as we walk through the practical steps organizations across nonprofits, higher education, and the public sector can take to make their volunteer events genuinely welcoming to everyone. From writing clear, descriptive event listings that give volunteers the context they need, to choosing and communicating about accessible venues, to crafting thoughtful sign-up forms that ask the right questions, we’ll cover the full volunteer journey through an accessibility lens. Whether you’re just starting to think about inclusion or looking to strengthen practices you already have in place, you’ll walk away with concrete strategies and tools to create volunteer experiences where everyone feels informed, included, and empowered to participate. This webinar will take place Thursday, May 14 from 2 until 3 p.m. Eastern Time (U.S.)

Preflight is an AI-built app launch preflight checking service operated by Fount Lab in Seoul. For GAAD 2026, we published a blog post in Korean about accessibility patterns commonly seen on Korean web (color contrast, form labels, keyboard focus, image alt, Hangul font fallback) and how AI-generated frontends frequently overlook them. The post also includes our own site’s Lighthouse and axe results — 94 / 100 accessibility (lowest of two pages), 9 axe nodes, classified as BLOCK 0 / SOON 2 / EXPERT 0 / DECIDED 2. Design trade-offs are quoted verbatim from our design doc so readers can compare with their own pre-launch checks. https://launchpreflight.com/blog/accessibility-day-2026-self-check During May 15 – 28 (KST), the GAAD2026 promo code grants +3 security check credits, also usable for accessibility checks. Redeemable on the account page. The accessibility checker beta separately offers 2 free monthly checks. https://launchpreflight.com/a11y-preflight/start GAAD is an awareness day, not a marketing day. Our aim is a small contribution to Korean-language accessibility content, where the gap is visible — the official GAAD site supports 9 languages, none of them Korean.

Accessibility Day 2026 is a free online event organized by weAAAre. Accessibility specialists and practitioners will share practical talks on digital accessibility, inclusive education, accessible video games, design systems, audits, accessible typography, cognitive accessibility, clear communication, and the relationship between AI, design, and accessibility.

Knowledge Pitstop is a space for Telkom Indonesia employees to share expertise, best practice, and relevant insight to enhance working capabilities and expand employee knowledge. In the first series of Expert Insight x Knowledge Pitstop Series: Design for Everyone, Accessibility in Digital & AI Era, we will discuss how accessibility in digital design is not only the best practice, but also a growing legal and strategic imperative across the globe. This session will cover what digital accessibility means in plain language, why it matters for the 22 million Indonesians living with disabilities, and how Indonesia’s upcoming regulatory landscape (referencing Komdigi’s draft ministerial regulation on accessible digital public services) is shaping the way organizations must think about inclusive design. More importantly, we’ll show how AI tools available today make accessibility achievable for everyone — not just designers. Attendees will walk away with three simple habits they can apply immediately to any digital content they create or publish.

Accessibility and usability are deeply connected. In recognition of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), this webinar explores how the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) can be used as a foundation for creating more usable, intuitive digital experiences. Learn how to move beyond compliance thinking and apply WCAG’s principles and guidelines to improve design, interaction, and overall user satisfaction.
