In June 2025, the GADIM team headed to Toronto, Canada for the inaugural AccessFest, a one-day festival celebrating accessibility, community, and culture. We asked Maayan Ziv, Founder of Access Now, and other attendees: what does accessibility mean to you? From authenticity, to equality, to innovation, to community, attendees shared their deep relationships to and perspectives on accessibility.
