ABOUT US

Our company emerged in a period when live events often lacked sufficient accessibility. In the wake of his spinal cord injury in 2007, Austin Whitney faced barriers at numerous large events that were not accessible. While studying at UC Berkeley School of Law in 2015, Austin merged his legal expertise, production skills, personal disability experience, and commitment to helping others. Partnering with Oren Shani, he founded Ten Fifty Entertainment - the parent company of Accessibility Live. Today, Accessibility Live stands as a premier, leading provider of accessibility and inclusion solutions for event organizers nationwide. Our work is driven by passion, dedication and a commitment to delivering impactful experiences for all attendees, regardless of their abilities.
