Event details

The 22nd International Web for All Conference (W4A’25), the premier venue for web accessibility research, will take place in Sydney, Australia. W4A is co-located with the 34th International World Wide Web Conference – TheWebConf’25 at the ICC Sydney: International Convention & Exhibition Centre.

The conference focuses on all aspects of web accessibility. Areas of general interest include, but are not limited to the following: age, cognition, culture, education, emotions, dexterity, disability, diversity, health, hearing, income, infrastructure, language, learning, literacy, mobility, neurodiversity, situation, society, and vision.

This year, W4A’s theme is “Accessible Employment”, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8, which aims to “promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all”.

This year, the Web4All conference seeks to explore the barriers to participation in the employment market for those with a lived experience of disability and what work is being undertaken to reduce these barriers.

The W4A offers a vibrant experience for people who are passionate about accessibility and inclusion.
