ADA 30th Anniversary: Expanding Diversity and Inclusion to Include Equity and Access

John Samuel is the chief innovation architect at LCI Tech, a North Carolina-based firm that is one of the largest employers of Americans who are blind. Samuel’s passion for inclusion is rooted in the fact that he is a blind entrepreneur, advocate and public speaker who’s committed to creating opportunities by eliminating accessibility barriers. Samuel will share his story and talk about why it is important that we continue to remove barriers that are limiting people with disabilities.
