08:30 A11y Broke My Build by Kristoffer Nordström @ Variant
Accessibility is often an afterthought, something done manual and late in the development cycle. But I made accessibility break my build and now I will help you break yours! Time to shift accessibility left, add automatic testing that can run in all development steps, catch errors and make the feedback loop as short as possible.

This is not your average dry accessibility talk with long WCAG check lists, but will use lots of humor and live coding to get the audience engaged and get the value out of using accessibility tooling.

08:45 Ten Reasons Your Application Isn't Accessible and What You Can Do About It by Elise Kristiansen @ Aplia
The WCAG standard has been around for over 20 years, and it has been a legal requirement to build websites that meets the standards in universal design in Norway for several years already. However, new websites that fail to meet these requirements continue to emerge, unintentionally excluding people from the digital society.

In this lightning talks, you'll become aware of some typical reasons and learn what you can do to address them.

09:00 A11y Annotation: Preparing Designs for Dev with Accessibility in Mind by Christina Røise @ Variant
Accessibility is about more than just colors and contrast—it's about making sure every user can interact with our application. So let's go beyond the basics to explore how developers can enhance designs with a11y annotations, ensuring that every element is accessible. We'll focus on a dynamic form design, we'll discuss how to identify and implement the right accessibility features, making our design truly inclusive and development-ready.
