• S2 Ep1347: RNIB Accessible Media Symposium- Sonali Rai Reflects on Day One

  The RNIB’s Accessible Media Symposium (16 - 17 September 2025) brought together broadcasters, streamers, technology companies, creatives, researchers and people with lived experience to explore the future of accessible media. As storytelling, platforms and technologies evolve, so too must the ways we think about access. This two-day event is a chance to share ideas, highlight innovation, and shape what accessible media looks like in the years ahead. RNIB Connect Radio’s Toby Davey caught up with Sonali Rai, RNIB’s lead on Media, Culture and Immersive Technology to find out how day one went and some of the highlights for day two.
