AI for the 96%: Closing the Web Accessibility Gap
Thursday, November 6, 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM ET
Event by: World Information Architecture Association
Ninety-six percent of the internet is still inaccessible to people with disabilities, costing businesses billions in lost opportunities. At Incskill, we built AI-powered remediation tools that scan, understand, and fix accessibility issues in real time — helping enterprises meet global compliance standards while unlocking a $1.9 trillion underserved market.
In this talk, Nishit Bhasin will share how to design AI systems that work in high-stakes, real-world environments, lessons from scaling a Techstars-backed startup, and why accessibility should be seen as a core growth strategy, not just a legal requirement.
Driving Product Growth: Partnerships, Integrations and User Retention
Thursday, November 13, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM ET

How do you leverage your product ecosystem and keep users coming back on their own?
In this TPG Live roundtable, speakers will explore how product teams scale impact by working across company lines. From third-party integrations to long-term partnerships, growth increasingly depends on how well you navigate external ecosystems. Learn how to identify the right opportunities, align goals across organizations, and lead integrations that drive momentum without adding unnecessary complexity.
