On Tuesday April 7, 2026, at 7:30pm-8:30pm EDT (11:30-00:30 UTC), the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘PDF to Accessible Markdown: Introducing Equalify Reflow, an Open Source AI Tool‘.

Blake Bertuccelli-Booth and Dylan Isaac of the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) Digital Accessibility Team will introduce Equalify Reflow, an open-source, agentic AI tool that transforms inaccessible PDFs into dynamic, accessible assets.

The presentation will cover common institutional challenges with PDFs, why the team uses Markdown, and how AI is informing decisions about building and scaling PDF remediation. The team will also explain why the work is being released as open source and why UIC is investing in open-source digital accessibility solutions.

The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Accessibility SIG.
