See all- Maybe AAA is Not So Bad?163 Main St, San Francisco, CA
Join the last A11yBay Meetup before we take our annual summer break. We'll be in-person at Workday's SF office for the talk "Maybe AAA is Not So Bad?" Our speaker, Gerard Cohen, will go through each World Wide Web (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guideline (WCAG) AAA criterion, explaining their meaning and purpose.
Then we'll vote in real-time whether or not they are too hard to implement. Spoiler: in most cases they are not!
The overall message is that good user experience likely includes a lot of AAA criteria—a valuable message for everyone to know and share!

Food and light refreshments will be provided.
