2nd AccessCat Innovation Conference

The mission of the AccessCat Network is to bridge the gap between the world of research and the social and business fabric. That is why on 25 November, researchers, associations, institutions, companies and professionals committed to communication accessibility will come together to discover the research results and disruptive solutions of the network groups, and also to share, discuss and connect.
