Beyond Compliance: Why Accessibility is the Future of Data-Driven Business
Abstract:
In the era of data-driven decision-making, businesses are harnessing unprecedented volumes of information to fuel innovation, efficiency, and customer engagement. Yet, one critical dimension remains overlooked: accessibility. This keynote challenges the prevailing notion that accessibility is merely a regulatory requirement, and instead positions it as a strategic driver of innovation, inclusion, and competitive advantage in business intelligence and analytics.
We will explore how inclusive data practices—not only in visualization but also in data collection, processing, and interpretation—unlock value for diverse user populations, including people with disabilities, aging populations, and neurodivergent users. By examining real-world examples and emerging technologies, the session will highlight how accessible analytics tools and platforms can expand market reach, improve decision accuracy, and foster more ethical AI systems.
Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the economic and societal imperatives for accessibility, actionable strategies for embedding it into BI ecosystems, and a forward-looking vision of how businesses can lead through inclusive innovation. Beyond compliance lies a richer, more resilient future—one where accessibility is not an afterthought, but a core enabler of data-driven success.
