⏱ Schedule:

***
🤖 Vibe Coding Demo (for reals) - Damian Karzon (LinkedIn) - 30min
Everyone is talking about AI at the moment but not many people are actually showing it really being used. Let's build something with a few different AI coding tools and while it's working, we can talk about the differences in the tools and when to use each of them. Then see what the result is from each of them.

⏱ Intermission - Networking / Food ~7:15pm - 25-30min

🌐 The Web Is Your Ally - Building Accessible Web Apps By Using the Platform - Julian Burr ( twitter: @jburr90 / bluesky: [@julianburr.de](https://bsky.app/profile/julianburr.de) ) - 20min
The web comes accessible out of the box, we just need to know how to use it. With modern advancements in HTML, CSS, and even JS, the tools to build an inclusive experience are more powerful than ever. More accessibility means increased usability for everyone, so let's explore these new tools and best practices, and how they can help us create a better and inclusive web.

⏱ Closing - Safe trip home folks!
