🌟Talks and Speaker Information:
// 🚀 Talk 1: Denys Diachenko | Accessibility in Flutter: From Compliance to Better UX and Testing

Accessibility is becoming a required standard for modern apps, but it can also improve both user experience and test automation:

• Improve screen reader support
• Implement accessible interaction states
• Create stable identifiers for automation testing
• Real-world examples with Maestro

// 🚀 Talk 2: Gil Nobrega | 🐞 Debugging Beyond Your Codebase: a guide on taking control of the code you don't own

You've spent hours tracking down a bizarre UI glitch, only to realise the bug isn't yours - it's inside the Flutter SDK. What happens next?

In this talk, we'll dissect a real-world framework bug to uncover the best ways to handle broken dependencies, contrasting a quick-and-dirty internal workaround with the long-term value of upstreaming a fix.

But writing the fix is only half the battle. We'll unpack the hidden bottlenecks and risks of contributing to corporate-backed open-source projects, before celebrating the community shifts pointing toward a more resilient future for Flutter.

Whether you're looking to make your first open-source contribution or just need a survival guide for your next broken dependency, you'll leave equipped to take control of the code you don't own.
