The Employment Accessibility Resource Network (EARN) is delighted to invite you to our 13th Annual Conference which will be taking place virtually via Zoom on November 27th, 2025, from 9am-12pm ET. This year’s conference will be focused on the important topic of technology and assistive devices in the workplace.

This year’s topic seeks to address the ways in which technology and assistive devices are changing the world of work for employers and employees –in terms of both challenges and opportunities.

We are honoured to welcome our Keynote Speaker: Charles Levasseur, Certified Assistive Technology and Learning Disability Specialist of the Neil Squire Society. Drawing from his extensive research and expertise, Charles will provide attendees with valuable insights into the ways emerging technologies and assistive devices are in many ways making work more accessible to more people while calling our attention to potential pitfalls.

The event will also include a panel and an opportunity for attendees to connect, collaborate, and exchange ideas.

This event is particularly relevant for employers, leaders, human resources professionals, diversity and inclusion advocates, and anyone committed to promoting workplace accessibility. We invite you to join us for this free virtual event, which will provide important perspectives and opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals. Register now to secure your participation.
