Nelnet Demo Theater Snippet | M-Enabling Summit How can organizations tackle accessibility debt before it becomes a mountain? At the 2025 M-Enabling Summit Demo Theater, Nelnet Digital Accessibility Services introduced a practical model for scaling accessibility programs: ATaaS (Accessibility Team as a Service). In this demo, Marc Lind highlights: 1. The common challenges new and mature accessibility teams face — from unclear ownership to limited budget and training 2. How technical and design debt builds over time, especially after audits reveal hundreds of issues 3. Why a structured, service-based accessibility model can help organizations move from reactive fixes to sustainable, organization-wide impact From evolving regulations to expanding accessibility beyond a single team, the session underscores a key reality: without a clear strategy, accessibility debt continues to grow. The Demo Theater is a featured part of the M-Enabling Summit, bringing accessibility technology and services to life through short, live demonstrations of solutions that help organizations build more inclusive digital experiences.

M-Enabling Summit Interview (Featuring Michael Bervell) | M-Enabling Summit Growing Accessibility by Investing in People At the 2025 M-Enabling Summit, we were thrilled to chat with Michael Bervell, Founder & CEO at TestParty, whose commitment to accessibility extends beyond products and into building the next generation of leaders. Our conversation with Michael highlights a core recurring theme from the M-Enabling Summit: we accelerate progress by sharing learning, encouraging curiosity, and prioritizing community. At M-Enabling, professionals naturally engage in candid exchanges with peers, and spontaneous discussions advance accessibility topics. For Founders and CEOs like Michael, M-Enabling offers business leaders a place to listen, exchange ideas, and build trust across sectors. The Summit is a reminder that collaboration, long-term partnerships, and an openness to learn drives sustainable accessibility progress. We were proud to have TestParty sponsor the 2025 M-Enabling Student Ambassadors program, ensuring that students could access the Summit and have a seat at the table to learn and participate fully in the global accessibility conversation. By removing barriers to access, Michael and his team at TestParty helped create opportunities for young professionals to engage directly with leaders, ideas, and real-world practice. Thank you to TestParty and Michael Bervell for investing in people and helping shape a more accessible future.

M-Enabling Summit Student Ambassador Interview (Featuring Anmol Mishra) | M-Enabling Summit Designing for Communication, Access, and the Future At the 2025 M-Enabling Summit, we were excited to connect with Anmol Mishra, a 2025 M-Enabling Student Ambassador and graduate student in Human-Computer Interaction at the University of Maryland, whose work reflects the next generation of accessibility leadership. As an international student from India, Anmol brings a strong background in interaction design and scalable systems, paired with a deep focus on communication access and inclusive technology. His academic and professional journey centers on ensuring people have accessible communication to express themselves authentically - highlighting the human impact behind accessible design. At the 2025 M-Enabling Summit, Anmol engaged with global accessibility leaders, explored how emerging technologies like AI and AAC can be applied responsibly, and reflected on how accessibility must be approached as both a design practice and a long-term strategy. His experience at the Summit emphasizes the role education, mentorship, and global collaboration play in shaping inclusive digital futures as accessibility grows globally. We were proud to have Anmol and other student ambassadors present at M-Enabling because it shows how young professionals are intentionally choosing accessibility as both a career path and a responsibility to bring fresh perspectives that help advance accessibility. Thank you to TestParty and Michael Bervell for sponsoring the 2025 Student Ambassadors, and to Stephane Leblois, CPACC, for leading these conversations and helping elevate student voices within the global accessibility community.
