How do you move beyond slide decks and really help people feel why accessibility matters? In this Accessibility Level Up session, we'll walk through how Workday created an Experiential Accessibility Lab to bring digital inclusion to life. You’ll learn what an accessibility lab is (and what it is not), and how it can help teams build genuine understanding of assistive technologies and disability without falling into “simulation” or empathy theater. We’ll share lessons learned from multiple iterations of Workday’s lab, including how we use free tools like screen readers and keyboard navigation, how we design approachable activities that don’t overwhelm first‑time users, and how the lab now supports training, culture change, and even customer visits through our experience center. Whether you’re an accessibility professional, product leader, designer, engineer, or ERG champion, this session will give you practical ideas to start building your own accessibility lab—at any budget—and use it to drive more inclusive, high‑quality digital experiences for everyone.
