Liberogic Inc. is pleased to announce its sponsorship of GAAD Japan 2026, which will be held on Thursday, May 21, 2026.
What is GAAD?
A Global Day for Thinking About Accessibility in Digital Fields
Launched in 2012, GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day) is a day dedicated to considering accessibility in digital fields, including the web, software, and mobile. Every year, a variety of events are held around the world on this day.
GAAD Japan was first held in 2020 as an online seminar for audiences in Japan, and this year marks its seventh consecutive year.
The purpose of this day is to provide an opportunity for everyone to talk, think, and learn together about accessibility in digital areas (web, software, mobile, and more) and the diverse range of users with disabilities.
GAAD is for anyone who creates, delivers, or influences technology and its use opportunities, including designers, developers, usability specialists, and other related communities. Many people who are interested in making technology more accessible to people with disabilities or improving its usability often find it difficult to know where to start.
Let's start by learning about it. Please read Joe Devon's blog post (published November 2011), which inspired this global initiative.

Background of Our Sponsorship
In recent years, awareness of digital accessibility has grown rapidly, driven in part by the revised Act on the Elimination of Discrimination against Persons with Disabilities in Japan.
Liberogic is committed to creating websites that work for everyone. Through specialized diagnostic services based on public standards, we have supported many companies and organizations in improving web accessibility.
We are proud to support GAAD Japan 2026, sharing the philosophy of GAAD, which promotes awareness of the importance of digital accessibility around the world.
Through this sponsorship, we will continue to strengthen our technical expertise and knowledge, working toward a future where everyone can enjoy the benefits of the digital society without barriers.
