Wow. Just WOW. CSUN 2025 has been an absolute adventure so far! With thousands of attendees from all over the world, this place is alive with innovation, connection, and a shared passion for accessibility.
Yesterday kicked off with a welcome event for first-timers like myself, and let me tell you—it was such a surreal moment to step onto the Platinum Patio and see hundreds of others who, just like me, were experiencing CSUN for the first time. Drinks, snacks, and some of the best networking I’ve ever done! I had the chance to meet folks from DQ Services, Oracle, NV Access, Digitally Accessible, and so many other agencies doing incredible work in this space. Some even contributed audio and video for upcoming podcasts and highlight projects—so stay tuned for those!
This morning started off strong with the keynote, and I can already tell this year’s big theme is AI. It’s everywhere! The energy around AI and access tech is electric, and I can’t wait to hit the exhibitor floor to see what’s next for our community.
Also—so many guide dogs, canes, hearing aids, cochlear implants, wheelchairs… everywhere you turn, accessibility is in action. It’s a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do.
More updates coming soon, but for now—I’m off to explore! If you’re here at CSUN, let’s connect! 🚀🔥 #CSUN2025 #Accessibility #AssistiveTech #InclusiveInnovation
