Zero Project Conference 2025: Paths to inclusion and innovation in Vienna
The aid community for the blind and visually impaired in Austria is sending a strong signal for accessibility! From March 5th to 7th, 2025 she will be represented at the renowned Zero Project Conference 2025 in Vienna's UNO City. This international conference is dedicated to promoting innovative solutions for accessibility and inclusion. The aid community will share expert knowledge at its stand and in several expert panels to promote the exchange on accessibility, as reported by hilfsgemeinschaft.at.
In particular, Klaus Höckner, the deputy chairman of the board, will speak during the sessions and workshops on the implementation of the European Accessibility Act (EAA). From June 2025, companies will have to make digital offerings inclusive, and Höckner emphasizes: “The European legal framework offers great opportunities for accessibility, but also presents challenges.” Accessibility expert Werner Rosenberger will also provide insights into how companies can now implement the requirements of the EAA in a legally compliant manner. He is convinced that accessibility represents an economic opportunity, especially in the digital space.
Experts and networking at the highest level
Elmar Fürst, CEO, emphasizes the importance of the event: “The Zero Project Conference is one of the top-class events in this field.” There will be an unparalleled exchange of ideas and solutions for greater accessibility with participants from over 70 countries, the reported ots.at. The keynote speakers also include well-known personalities such as Jenny Lay-Flurrie from Microsoft, who advocates for more inclusion. Your vision for accessibility could become a model for many companies.
The event will be streamed live via the Zero Project conference platform and YouTube channel. Additionally, recordings of the sessions will later be published on YouTube, making the valuable content available to a wider audience. The aid community, which this year looks back on 90 years of experience, remains an indispensable partner in the fight for an inclusive society.
