Countdown to GAAD
What is GAAD?
GAAD was launched in 2012 to spark conversation and action around digital access and inclusion. Now observed worldwide, it’s a day to raise awareness and take meaningful steps to ensure the web works for everyone.
Learn from our CEO, Mark Zablan, about the purpose of GAAD—and how you can celebrate with us this year.
