About us

The Accessibility (A11y) Allies is a networking group for accessibility professionals and advocates.

We have in-person gatherings once a month on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Proudly supported by Builure.

We use a roundtable format that allows the conversation to flow naturally from person to person. This format offers a space to connect, exchange ideas, and support one another in advancing digital equity across industries.

Each session focuses on meaningful conversation, shared experiences, and community building. Whether you work in design, development, policy, content, or simply care about creating a more inclusive digital world, you are welcome here.

Join our online discussions in our LinkedIn Group and connect with others who believe access is a right, not an afterthought.
