Access Bristol 2026

Access Bristol launched in 2025 with the purpose of progressing assistive technology for disabled creative users in a collaboration between technologists, disability advocates, industry partners and students at University of Bristol.

This year, Dr. Kyle Keane is hosting the day-long conference in the brand new Sloane Robinson Building on the University's Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus. Industry representatives, Bristol students and academics and members of the wider Bristol community will come together to share ideas, discuss innovations and generate ideas in an everchanging technological landscape. 

The day will consist of talks and presentations from leaders in the assistive technology industry and workshop sessions to create solutions that help people with disabilities fully participate in the activities and social settings they care about. It’s all about inclusion, creativity, and community in a warm, supportive environment.
