“If you’ve met one person with a disability, you’ve met ONE person with a disability.” 🙌 The @Lenovo team at #GAADRaleigh reminded us that inclusive research means designing WITH, not FOR. Get people with lived experience in the room at ideation — not just validation. @Ablr360

“AI governance requires asking: for what purpose, to what end, and for whom might it fail?” @RealRegT at #GAADRaleigh today when we automate biased systems without interrogation, we don’t just preserve inequality, we scale it. Lived experience=the credential AI governance needs!

“Help me understand.” Three simple words that can transform how managers support employees with disabilities. 💡 Incredible insights from today’s panel at #GAADRaleigh on psychological safety, ERGs, and building inclusion into your foundation — not just on your website. @Ablr360

Panels. Fireside chats. Networking. Community. That’s #GAADRaleigh at @SASsoftware campus. Thank you @Ablr360 for making accessibility the conversation it deserves to be.

‘By the time a vulnerability is announced, it’s being exploited within hours. Soon it’ll be minutes.’ ‘If you’re not doing MFA in your environment, your setting yourself up to be exploited.’ Getting past vulnerabilities is just one piece - harden your infrastructure.’ @Cisco

Closing out #TechFestNC with a conversation on cybersecurity and AI security — Omar Santos, Paul Giralt, and Jon Heaton from @Cisco close us out. The perfect note to end on. #CyberSecurity #AI #NCTech

The Startup Showcase sponsored by @SASsoftware starts now, at the Durham Convention Center. Five NC companies are about to take the stage — Fixxr, NexStratus, Nuream, Roboro, and Tesslate. This is what building in NC looks like. 👀 #TechFestNC #NCTech #Startups

Three TurboTech Talks on the expo floor during lunch at #TechFest2026 — Brandon Walker from HOAi on marketing AI in real time, Mark Bavisotto from RDULABS on the multi-trillion dollar opportunity nobody’s talking about, and John Samuel from @Ablr360 Future tech x human access.

‘If AI continues to be a side project and not a top-down operational model, NC will just become an AI hosting state — data centers and smart people, but no real adoption.’ The opportunity is here. The universities, the research, & industries. But it’s on all of us, it’s our job.
