About this event

Tech For Disability Inclusive Conversations 2023 - Next up on 30 November, 1700 UK.

Our last Inclusive Conversation of 2023 will feature Zareen Ali of Cogs AI in reframing traditional employment models with tech entrepreneurship and its benefits and challenges for neurodivergents and disabled people.

We know too well how traditional workspaces may not suit how neurodivergents and disabled people best need to work, create and flourish. The protocols, expectations and social ground rules are mainly built by others. So entrepreneurship offers an alternative route to creativity and autonomy.

With that, it is still a minefield of issues to manage the non-accessible processes of fundraising, building teams and partners and working under pressure to deliver, which gives rise to mental health issues which are amplified.

We will look at some of these lived experiences and start the conversation with Zareen.

Tech For Disability is a working group in Tech London Advocates.

Inclusive Conversations 2023 - Sponsored by Tech London Advocates and Global Tech Advocates.

Please note that we hope you will welcome a follow-up email after the event to become a Tech London Advocates member and support the largest grassroots tech community.


At Tech for Disability, our aims are to foster the ability to realise the potential benefits of technology for disabled people by:


  • connecting up a necessary ecosystem of resources and raising the profile of disability technology and its impact.
  • supporting lived experience founders and other startups creating technology for disabled people.
  • ensuring the tech industry is more inclusive so they can participate in advising and delivering inclusive technology at scale.

It is run by Tania Duarte, Marie-Clare Fenech and Marc Goblot, with new support coming from Karen Blake, Shamima Akhtar, Parves Khan and Bianca Walker.
