While studying ICT back in the day, Annelies discovered early on that ICT is not accessible for many (if not most) people. Even though after that she didn't go into hardcore IT, she always kept connecting to the tech industry in various ways, for example by having a blog about consumer tech. Since 2018, she has been diving into accessibility and what this means for businesses and the people who make the digital world. She has been spreading awareness and sharing insights and tools in several podcasts, webinars, (international) events and more for a few years now. Annelies is an accessibility expert at Accessibility Desk/Digitaal Toegankelijk in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
