AI coding assistants are becoming a common part of software development, creating new opportunities for developers while raising important questions about accessibility.

At the M-Enabling Summit, Karl Groves, Digital Accessibility Consultant at AFixt, will take a candid look at tools such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and other AI coding platforms to examine how well they support accessible development.

Drawing on 20 years of experience across web development, usability, and accessibility, Karl will explore the current capabilities and limitations of AI-assisted coding and what developers and accessibility professionals should consider when using these tools.

M-Enabling Summit 2026 Agenda Spotlight | Designing for Real Life: Lived Experience, Human Behavior, and Trust in Accessible Systems

Accessibility can be shaped by how people interact with systems, services, and technology in everyday situations.

Join us at the M-Enabling Summit for an engaging discussion exploring how lived experience and human behavior can inform more effective accessibility strategies across customer support, retail, service delivery, and live events.

Accessibility leaders Jonathan Avila (of Level Access - Digital Accessibility), Katie Puskarich (of Salesforce), Radostina Tsvetkova (of Norwegian Directorate of Labour and Welfare), Meg Filer (of T-Mobile), and Jennifer Strickland (of Syracuse University Maxwell School of Syracuse University) will examine how organizations can better account for real-world factors while designing and testing accessible systems.

M-Enabling Summit 2026 Agenda Spotlight | Sales Doesn’t Need a Business Case - Accessibility Just Needs to Catch Up

Accessibility teams are often asked to demonstrate impact, justify investment, and show measurable progress. But what if the metrics already exist?

Join us at the M-Enabling Summit alongside Corbb O'Connor (of Level Access - Digital Accessibility), who will explore how accessibility outcomes can connect to the business and service metrics executives already understand, including completion rates, cost-to-serve, retention, and risk, during his session, “Sales Doesn’t Need a Business Case — Accessibility Just Needs to Catch Up”.

This session will review common accessibility barriers across financial services, healthcare, higher education, local government, and retail, and how organizations can use practical, executive-relevant metrics to prioritize work and communicate progress.
