Accessible Accesibility

In this sixth edition of Forward we will dismantle some of the existing myths about creating accessible products from the design to its final implementation.

Talk: Accessibility is not what you think
Alberto Calvo, Senior Design Manager at Cabify, will talk us about the myths surrounding accessibility: What is a disability? What kind of disabilities there are and how those affect people? What can we do to make things more inclusive for everyone? Alberto will also talk about what accessibility means for business and why we can’t ignore it.

Talk: Technical accessibility without complexes
Jonathan Chacón, Developer and accessibility consultant, will talk about mobile accessibility technical concepts according to the most common barriers and how to solve those barriers: Semantics, how to provide proper alternatives, roles, controls, order and size of components.
