Exploring Inclusive Design and Assistive Technologies

Accessibility in UX goes beyond compliance — it’s about creating digital experiences that include, empower, and connect everyone.
In this edition of Tech Talks @ Club Street, we spotlight how inclusive design is reshaping the digital landscape, from cultural institutions to everyday platforms.

Through real-world examples and expert insights, we’ll explore how accessibility and empathy intersect — and what it means to design experiences that work for every user, regardless of ability.

Inside the Session

This session traces the journey of accessible design — from its roots in global standards to how it’s being reimagined across Singapore’s digital and creative sectors. We’ll examine how accessibility has evolved from a checklist of WCAG requirements into a mindset that champions inclusion, usability, and human experience.

Through local perspectives and case studies, including Esplanade’s approach to inclusive digital design, our speakers will share how design thinking and accessibility come together to create more engaging, equitable, and future-ready experiences. We’ll also look ahead at what’s next for accessible design in Singapore — and how collaboration between designers, developers, and organizations can make “design for all” a shared reality.
