About this event:
In the third and final session of Access Innovators Network Season 2, Juan Olarte will speak with Taylor Arndt, a blind technologist and accessibility advocate, about how AI can be used across teams—not just by developers or engineers.

This conversation will explore how everyday professionals—whether you're in operations, advocacy, communications, or community-building—can begin experimenting with AI in meaningful ways. Taylor brings both technical expertise and lived experience to the conversation, offering practical ideas on how teams can start using AI while keeping accessibility and inclusion at the center.

This session is designed to be welcoming and beginner-friendly, especially for those who may not have a tech background but want to understand how AI can support their work.

Who is it aimed at?
Professionals, advocates, team leads, educators, and anyone curious about how AI can be applied in real-world, inclusive ways.

What You’ll Learn:
Where AI can support everyday workflows, communication, and planning
How to choose beginner-friendly AI tools with accessibility in mind
What it means to include people with disabilities in the AI process
How to build a culture of inclusive experimentation and learning

You don’t need to be technical to use AI—you just need to start where you are.
Join us to explore how AI can be a tool for everyone.
