About the event

After this year’s amazing Accessibility Club Summit in Würzburg, Josefine was wondering: wouldn’t it be great to have opportunities to meet like-minded folks more regularly, possibly even without too much travel? Wouldn’t it be nice to have an Accessibility Club in Hamburg?

And this is how the idea of this meet-up was born — the regional chapter of the A11yClub, but with a northern flavour, if you will. Informal, with some informative speaker slots and many chances to mingle and chat. More info below.

Tickets

As always, we’re committed to keeping barriers to participation in our events as low as possible. That’s why we're especially excited to offer our very first Hamburg meet-up free of charge.

We’re also delighted to be using Eventably for registration for the very first time — the brand-new accessible ticketing platform created by our friend and long-time supporter Karl Groves and his team. Make sure to register today!

IMPORTANT NOTE: slashwhy is generously providing drinks and snacks for the evening. It would be a real shame if we had to throw away perfectly good refreshments because people registered but didn’t attend. If you know you won’t be able to make it, please cancel your registration in good time so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!
