About Inclusive Design 24

Launched in 2014, Inclusive Design 24 (ID24) is a free 24-hour online event of presentations about inclusive design and accessibility.

From the Inclusive Design 24 website:

It celebrates inclusive design and shares knowledge and ideas from analogue to digital, from design to development, from planners to practitioners, and everything and everyone in between.

The first ID24 was organized by a dedicated group of accessibility professionals in three weeks.

Open to everyone, ID24 features 24 presentations at no cost and no registration for attendees.

Presentations are streamed live from YouTube, captioned and recorded for later viewing.

This year’s ID24 will be held September 16, 2021.

Call for Speakers

ID24 is open to talks from anyone interested in speaking about inclusive design and accessibility.

You don’t have to be a professional speaker; ID24 is an excellent way for you to give your first talk.

Are you excited about inclusive design and want to share what you learned in your latest work project?

Have you started incorporating inclusive design at your organization?

Here’s your opportunity to share your lessons learned, thoughts, and experiences.

To apply, fill out the online Google form to submit your talk with info about yourself, session title, and talk details.

Some details about the talks:

  1. Each ID24 talk runs for 40 minutes with a 10-minute Q & A period at the end. Practice your talk to make sure it runs within 50 minutes (and doesn’t leave too much time at the end for a long break)
  2. You’ll need to be connected to Skype before your talk starts.
  3. Keep audio, video, and animations to a minimum in your presentation (they may not stream well)
  4. Avoid live coding
  5. Send your slides to ID24 by August 29, 2021

Check out info for presenters for more tips and recommendations for presenting at ID24.

Due to their partners, ID24 offers a modest fee to presenters for each session.
