The accompanying exhibition showcases innovations that help to achieve inclusion through a breadth of ICT products, services, connected devices and consumer technologies.

A vibrant mix of panel discussions, practice-oriented workshops and case studies will illustrate the benefits and opportunities of inclusive employment. The Forum will address digital accessible workplaces and employment opportunities. The interactions between speaker and
audience encourage exchange, creativity and a shared defining of targets and actions for the immediate future, giving the conference a sustainable character leading to measurable impact year on year.
