A11y Allies Roundtable: Accessibility Horror Stories

October topic: Accessibility Horror Stories 👻
Proudly supported by Builure.
Free event

We’re giving our monthly roundtable a Halloween twist.
Bring along an “accessibility horror story” — an #AccessibilityFail you’ve experienced, encountered or spotted in the wild — and let’s unpack what went wrong and, more importantly, how it could have been avoided or improved.
This isn’t about naming and shaming. It’s about learning from accessibility failures, sharing different perspectives and workshopping better solutions together.
Spooky hats are completely optional…but definitely encouraged. 🎃

Whether you work in accessibility, advocate for inclusion, have lived experience, or simply want to learn more, you’re welcome to join the conversation.

• No presentations
• Open, facilitated discussion
• Share experiences and ideas
• Workshop practical solutions

Accessibility questions or requirements
Creating an inclusive and welcoming event is important to us.
We’ve included accessibility information in the event FAQs to help you know what to expect before attending.

If you have an accessibility requirement, concern or question that isn’t covered in the FAQs, please contact us before the event.
We’ll do what we reasonably can to support you and help you feel comfortable participating in the roundtable.
