Wonderful to see Heather Dowdy opening the @menablingsummit.bsky.social with a keynote. I'm sure she'll give us interesting insights based on her 20 years of experience at Netflix, Microsoft, Motorola, and the U.S. Access Board. Looking forward to it!

A6: I do think ultimately it is about making sure that the incentives are aligned correctly. Starting with procurement, how do we make sure that people inside of organizations are incentivized to care about accessibility.

Q6: Many inside big tech are fighting for accessibility. How can we support internal advocates instead of blaming them for systemic gaps? #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong

A6 support the accessibility people in organisations by understanding that when their colleagues make an accessibility misstep that constructive feedback is far better than pile-ons and that they are probably already working in the background to put things right. #AXSChat

A3: Many of us find our way to accessibility through personal experiences or unexpected encounters. Whether it’s supporting a loved one, a career pivot, or a passion for equity, every path adds value to the movement. What’s your story? #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong
Q3: Sabine Lobnig came into accessibility through linguistics and deaf/blind advocacy. What unexpected path led you to care about digital inclusion? #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong
