About A11y Camp

What is it?

A11y Camp is an annual accessibility professional development event where people can come together, share and learn from each other, geek out, make friends, and add their own knowledge into the mix.

In 2026, A11y Camp consists of three days:

Day 1 and 2 – Conference: 2-day hybrid conference packed with keynotes, panels and presentations from accessibility experts. Expect real-world case studies, practical insights, and big-picture thinking across design, development, content, research and more. With lots of opportunities to network during the breaks and at the networking event at the end of Day 1.
Day 3 – Workshops: Hands-on sessions run by experienced professionals to level up your skills and put accessibility into practice.

Whether you’re new to accessibility or deep in the work every day, you’ll leave with ideas you can put into action and connections that last well beyond the event.

A11y Camp is about creating a digital world with no barriers, and is Australia’s largest event for professionals interested in digital accessibility and inclusive design.

Who runs it?

A11y Camp is run by A11y Bytes, a community of volunteers around Australia focused on raising the profile of digital accessibility and inclusive design.

A11y Camp grew out of a recognised need for an event more intensive and focused than A11y Bytes. Currently, A11y Camp alternates annually between Australia’s two largest cities, Melbourne and Sydney.

Who is it for?

A11y Camp welcomes everyone, from seasoned accessibility professionals to those new to the field. This includes individuals from government departments, agencies, and authorities, and those working independently or within teams in corporate, commercial, or small agency settings.

It’s for those whose job it is to know everything there is to know about digital accessibility right through to those who simply want to get a better understanding of just what accessibility is and how they can help to make it happen.

What can attendees expect?

You can expect to learn from experienced professionals with deep understanding and newer trailblazers with innovative approaches. You’ll get to share your own experiences and learnings with your peers and colleagues in a focused and friendly atmosphere.

They will emerge with a greater understanding of both the principles of accessibility and the techniques to put them into real action.
