Neil Milliken, Global Head of Accessibility at Atos, looks at how accessibility is evolving in the enterprise—driven by AI, inclusive design, and upcoming regulation.
Neil shares insights from over two decades in assistive technology and accessibility, including how mainstream tools like Microsoft 365 are increasingly embedding features that benefit everyone—not just those with disabilities.

The growing role of AI in assistive tech and how it’s improving productivity and inclusion
How features like captions, voice input, and personalisation are becoming everyday tools
The impact of the European Accessibility Act and what it means for private sector organisations
The convergence of enterprise audio tech and hearing support, including innovations from Jabra and others
Why accessibility is a business imperative, not just a compliance checkbox

Neil also discusses how organisations can prepare for the European Accessibility Act (EAA), the importance of inclusive design in product development, and how accessibility features are increasingly used by a wider audience—including those with temporary or situational needs.
