Make your kiosks accessible — Meet us at NRF 2026

Why is Web Accessibility Important?

Accessibility ends with “y”. But it also needs to begin with “why”. Just as important as having the right accessibility techniques is knowing why accessibility is important. Amy Albin (she/her), a member of Vispero’s Human Resources team, an industrial/organizational psychologist and a blind JAWS user, will present reasons for making your software offerings accessible to users with and without disabilities. You will learn:

Why inaccessible technology is costing you and the concept of ROA (Return On Accessibility).
The difference between reactive and proactive approaches to accessibility.
How a blind person can perform job tasks by integrating Vispero’s assistive technology with mainstream software.
One thing you can do in less than five minutes to make documents more accessible and perceive the difference you can make from the perspective of a real JAWS user!
Additionally, you will hear personal stories of the impact of accessibility and the lack of it on a wide range of life activities.

Whether or not you work directly with software development, this informative, insightful experience will inspire you to critically examine your why.

This on-demand webinar — “Why Is Web Accessibility Important” — explains why accessibility matters for everyone: people with disabilities, older adults, or anyone using different devices or in challenging environments. You’ll hear real stories showing how inaccessible websites block access to education, banking, employment, entertainment, and everyday services. The session reviews key motivations for accessibility: it’s the right thing to do, it’s legally required for many organizations, and it expands your audience — roughly 16% of the global population. Finally, you’ll learn why building accessibility from the start (not retrofitting) gives the best return on accessibility (ROA).
