The Round Table’s flagship event is its annual conference, typically held in May, which brings together users and providers of accessible information for three day s of learning and collaboration to:
- Share information about the latest developments in the provision of accessible information.
- Enhance dialogue between users and providers of accessible information.
- Showcase examples of best practice in the provision of accessible information to people with a print disability in the workplace and the community sector, which includes businesses, agencies, tertiary institutions, libraries, Commonwealth, state and local government, etc.
