Panel Discussion
Accessibility
Information
- Where might emerging tech (e.g., AI, biometrics, wayfinding apps) unintentionally leave accessibility behind - and how do we prevent it?
- Listening to the voice of the community – how are we co-creating and testing solutions directly with disabled passengers and ageing travellers?
- How can airports, airlines, OEMs, regulators, and suppliers break out of their silos to create seamless accessibility
- How do we secure real C-level buy-in and budget prioritization for accessibility as a competitive advantage?
- Where do regulations help – and where do they hinder flow across the journey?
