Welcome, Amber! We're excited too. Dennis looks a bit unhappy though.. we think it's because you're blocking him from the conference screen! #ANDConf20 Remember #Access

A big welcome to everyone today from our Chair, Peter Wilson. We have over 1,500 people who have registered to be part of our online conference. Now is the time for us to be #StrongerTogether #ANDConf20

We want to thank all of our event Sponsors: Fed. Government Attorney-General's Department, IBM and Telstra as well as all of our event partners. We also want to thank YOU, our members. For making us who we are today #ANDConf20 #Access #Inclusion

@Suzanne_Colbert "I've been speaking about the [disability] business case for 20 years, but to be honest, I am much more interested in talking about the case for fairness." #ANDConf20 #Fairness #Access #Inclusion

Today's conference is hosted by none other than @kurtfearnley "It's about the importance of not leaving anyone behind. This year's theme is relevant: Stronger Together. we can't lose the hard fought gains we have made in the employment space for people with disability" #ANDConf20

Getting ourselves familiar with the webinar functionality. Poll questions! A very easy question to get us started... "Is @kurtfearnley the best Paralympian in the world?" #ANDConf20 #Access #Inclusion

Where are you dialling in from today? Are you joining us from Australia or do we have some international representation in the 'virtual' house? Let us know, we are #StrongerTogether #ANDConf20 #Access #Inclusion

As always, we have @accessinclusion joining us for Live Captioning and as our sponsors. This is the 11th AND Conference they have joined us. Thanks @TonyAbrahams - we think this coronavirus could be an opportunity to ensure we do not lose ground too #Access #Inclusion #ANDConf20

.@TonyAbrahams "The biggest hurdle to deliver captioning or sign language technology has already been solved. Now we can focus on accessibility features. This technology is finally universal. Look at the spike for Captioning requests from Feb - March @accessinclusion " #ANDConf20

"When we go back to work, we would still encourage the use of these platforms. The audio clarity is so important to enable us to provide exceptional captions" @TonyAbrahams #Access #Inclusion #ANDConf20

Our next session is 'Staying on Course'. We will hear from top performers of the Access and Inclusion Index @RMIT @ato_gov_au and @medibank. You will hear how they became successful and the resources that are used to monitor their progress #ANDConf20 bit.ly/2WoBZHy
