On April 9, 2026, the ACM SIGCHI Brazil Chapter (BR-CHI), in a joint effort with the Special Committee on Human-Computer Interaction (CEIHC), livestreamed the webinar\u00a0“Let’s Create More Accessible PDFs and PPTs!”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Kamila highlighted that, since 2021, the IHC conference has structured a strong accessibility coordination team. Currently, with the migration of the event’s proceedings to the\u00a0SOL platform<\/strong>, which currently only provides articles in PDF format and not in HTML, it has become\u00a0mandatory and urgent<\/strong>\u00a0for the community itself to ensure structurally accessible PDF files. The goal is to enable individuals who are blind or have low vision and use screen readers to consume scientific literature autonomously and equitably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BR-CHI reinforces that all of this pedagogical material will remain publicly available on its official channel for students, researchers, and professionals to consult.
