Sprint has made accessible solutions one of its top priorities, offering a variety of products and services designed to accommodate various accessible needs. Their sponsorship of the M-Enabling Summit further reinforces the commitment to the disability community.
“We are proud to bring innovative solutions to market that empower and connect individuals with disabilities,” said Mike Ellis, National Director for Sprint Relay. “Our focus at Sprint continues to be on how we can develop the very best in accessible technology, understand consumer needs and trends, and to ensure a level playing fi eld for all communication needs. The M-Enabling Summit offers invaluable insight to help organizations like Sprint, do just that.”
The M-Enabling Summit is the premier global event dedicated to accessible mobile technology for senior citizens and users of all abilities. The 2014 event will run under the theme “Accessibility: A Driver for Mobile Innovation,” will be entirely dedicated to reviewing how to best promote and implement accessible mobile communications and services for senior citizens and persons of all abilities.
Experts at the forefront of the industry will discuss accessibility solutions for mobile application areas such as special education, fi nancial services, travel and tourism, veterans, emergency services, smart homes, e-government as well as mobile assistive solutions for people who are deaf and hard of hearing, blind or with physical or cognitive disabilities. As the mobile market continues to expand at a rapid pace, there is an essential need to provide applications and services to one of the fastest growing user groups, senior citizens and users of all abilities.
