Meetup #10 — Accessible for everyone
Details
Public sector services need to work for everyone. Unlike private sector businesses, public organisations cannot exclude anyone or focus on a narrow user group. German accessibility law, the Basic Law – also known as Grundgesetz – and EU legislation demand this.
Various public sector organisations have been building significant capacity and capability in-house. In our May meetup, we want to hear from representatives of several public sector organisations about their efforts to design and develop the most inclusive products and services:
- Danny Koppenhagen, DB Systel
- Marion Couesnon , DigitalServices des Bundes
- Susanne Henatschel, DigitalServices des Bundes
- [Pending]
The federal government’s DigitalService is hosting the meetup at its Kreuzberg office’s top floor with rooftop access.
All presentations will be given in English. Questions in the later discussion part can be raised either in English or German.
The event is jointly organised and hosted by CityLAB Berlin and DigitalService.
