“Building for Everyone” is an event entirely focused on accessibility and inclusion in technology, with the mission to educate developers to incorporate accessibility best practices into their products, and to raise awareness about accessibility guidelines and tools.

At the event, developers will learn how to develop products and applications that are more accessible and inclusive, and use the accessibility testing tools available.

Catch-up on our conversation on product accessibility over Twitter space here!&nbsp;👉&nbsp;https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1eaKbNWWyevKX

Where we discussed accessibility vs. usability and developers can most effectively collaborate with designers, cool accessibility features everyone can include in their Android app, what features Google Cloud offers to create an innovative, accessible experience, what assistive technology is, building accessibility into the dev workflow… and much more!

7:10 PM: How machine learning can contribute to improving accessibility, with Guillaume Laforge

Everyday, we're hearing about more and more use cases where machine learning can be applied. The idea is not to replace all our efforts on accessibility with magical neural networks that would do the job for us! No, but let's see where machine learning can complement our accessibility techniques and contribute to improving it. In this presentation, we'll talk in particular about on the shelf cloud based machine learning services and APIS that developers can put to good use, for vision, speech, or text understanding.
