Accessibility Part 2: Designing for People with Disabilities

Our August Tech Tuesday on the 25th will be the second part of our two-part series on accessibility for people with disabilities.

As mentioned at the June Meetup, this second evening of conversations will be focused on accessibility as it pertains to developing technologies, websites, apps, and more.

We’re lucky enough to be hearing from Megan Lawrence (https://www.linkedin.com/pub/megan-lawrence-phd/19/a68/bbb) from Cognito again. (If you were here in June, she was the speaker who opened the evening talking about her experiences with her post-doctorate advisor who was blind.)

Megan’s specialty is accessibility and universal design. She will speaking on designing products, services, and technology for people with disabilities.

Our second speaker is Callie Carroll (https://www.linkedin.com/in/calliecarroll), a User Experience consultant who specializes in User Experience research, Usability, and Accessibility.

Callie will be speaking on how the focus of UX design for accessibility has changed over the years with the "transition" from desktop to mobile.

If you’re involved in product or technology development on any level, you'll definitely benefit from the knowledge and experience our presenters will be sharing. And really, even if you're not, it's always good to learn new things, right?

As usual, doors open at 5:45pm and we’ll have pizza & sodas for you.

Presentation starts at 6:30pm.

We look forward to seeing you!
