After several inspiring weeks on the road, the Australasia Accessibility Roadshow has officially wrapped.

Dr. Ann Knettler, VP of Consulting, and Amanda Mace, VP of Australasia, travelled across Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Wellington, and Auckland, bringing together professionals who share a commitment to improving digital accessibility. Each city welcomed a new group of attendees ready to learn, contribute, and explore how accessible document design can strengthen communication across organisations.

The workshops quickly became more than just training sessions. They were spaces for conversation, curiosity, and shared insight. From thoughtful questions to practical discussions about real workplace challenges, every stop along the journey added another layer to the collective effort to make digital content more inclusive.

Seeing the enthusiasm and dedication from attendees across Australia and New Zealand was both energising and encouraging. Accessibility continues to gain momentum across the region, and it was a privilege to be part of that progress.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make this roadshow such a memorable and meaningful experience.
