Cornell is hosting the Disability and Access in Tech and AI Summit, powered by YAI, an annual conference to discuss issues around accessibility, including research, identity, and policy.

This 1.5-day conference takes place on October 9-10, 2025, at the Verizon Executive Education Center on the Cornell Tech campus. The first day will be fully in-person with a series of inspiring presentations, as well as panels and interactive sessions to discuss and engage around topics of accessibility. The second day takes place remotely (via Zoom) to allow people who have difficulty reaching our campus to engage with another set of speakers. While the schedule is getting populated, we welcome proposals for talks or interactive sessions from students, faculty, staff, and alumni focused on one of the three pillars of our event: research, identity, and policy.
