Apple will be hosting at least two exclusive events at its retail stores to celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day tomorrow. These include one with Paralympian Scout Bassett and Nike+ Head Coach Chris Bennett and another with activist Andrea Dalzell.
Apple’s Chicago flagship store on Michigan Avenue will be hosting Perspectives: Scout Bassett x Coach Bennett tomorrow from 12PM-1PM local time.
Apple notes that Bassett won her first international competition medal last year at the World Championships in London.
At Apple’s Williamsburg store in Brooklyn, disability rights activist Andrea Dalzell will be giving a talk about her journey and how tech has helped from 3PM-4PM local time.
Andrea is also a nurse and was featured in an Apple commercial that debuted a year ago. Watch it below.
Both events are free, but Apple has a ‘Sign me up’ link on both pages to reserve a spot.
