About Future Accessibility & Assistive Technology
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Chairman of the Executive Council, launched the “My Community – A City for Everyone” initiative in November 2013, which aims to fully transform Dubai into a disabled-friendly city by 2020. To achieve this objective, the Dubai Code is being established to maximise the participation and inclusion of every citizen, especially disabled people, and empower them to achieve a fully integrated society.
Building on last year’s success, The 2nd Future Accessibility Summit will take place on 8-9 October 2017. It will support the implementation of new regulations and standards to be introduced in the Dubai Code this year. This 2-day initiative will provide an interactive platform for best practice benchmarking, case study insight sessions, new technology and solution showcase, analysis, strategic collaboration and discussion of challenges and opportunities in the assistive technology sector.
The summit will bring together government authorities, experts, project owners and developers, international and regional organisations, researchers, accessibility and assistive technology solution providers to share intelligence and discuss the new regulations and implementation of accessibility projects in built environment, universal tourism (hotel, airports, transport), mobility and transportation, and digital technology.Call us today on +971 4 361 4001 or email opportunities@acm-events.com for further information.
