Accessibility Jam
A first-of-its-kind virtual conference that brought together leading accessibility experts and government staff to unpack what the DOJ ruling means in practice and advance digital accessibility work across all levels of government.
Accessibility Jam (A11y Jam)
Accessibility Jam (A11yJam) was a first-of-its-kind virtual event designed for government, bringing together the people on the front lines of digital accessibility just weeks before the April 2026 Department of Justice deadline.
Whether you’re responsible for a single website or an entire portfolio of digital services, you found useful information at this free, three-hour virtual conference. Attendees learned from leading accessibility experts, connected with peers across state and local government, and dove into practical demos and roundtables led by teams actively remediating real systems, including permits, benefits, licensing, court sites, and more.
Attendees choose from learning tracks tailored to state or local government, to see what’s working in the field, and leave with concrete ideas they could apply immediately, no matter the team size or budget.
Hosted by the Digital Government Network at the Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation at Georgetown University, A11yJam was an opportunity to build momentum, share solutions, and move forward together toward accessible government services for all.
