A11y Bytes Sydney

A11y Bytes is back for its fourteenth year, celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day. [Register for A11y Bytes Sydney 2026](https://events.humanitix.com/a11y-bytes-2026-sydney) The heart of digital accessibility and inclusion is not about guidelines, codes or regulations. It’s about people, and life, and how we live, how we access information, and how our lives are affected by the technologies of today. As many as 500 people have attended online Bytes events, as well as physical events in Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney attended an A11y Bytes event, making this the largest community run accessibility event in Australia. The event has since branched out into parts of New Zealand and it continues to grow. You don’t have to be an accessibility aficionado to attend. This event is about us all talking, thinking and learning about digital accessibility and inclusion together. Take part in A11y Bytes and connect, be inspired and have some fun as we talk, learn, grow and change the world. A big thank you to **Canva** for being the Sydney venue sponsor for this year's A11y Bytes. **Time and date** A11y Bytes Sydney will be held on **Thursday 21 May 2026**, celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day. **Doors open at 6pm for a 6.30pm start.** **Register** RSVP through humanitix to register.

AI always Compiles: Is your Organisation Shipping those Results?

Disclaimer Limited capacity available, please RSVP if you plan to attend. The talk touches on some advanced topics. Even so, do join in as you may learn something new. The workshop is beginner-friendly and is ideal for developers/AI enthusiasts. A ticket does not guarantee entry, entry is first come, first served. So, please make sure to be on time. Bring your laptops; this is a hands-on event. The Talk: AI always Compiles: Is your Organisation Shipping those Results? What if the worst thing AI could do isn't fail, but succeed at giving you exactly the WRONG thing, but brilliantly formatted? Your team adopted AI. But did they architect it? Danny Thompson shares the results of an experiment that exposed how most of developers interact with AI incorrectly. Better prompts are a bandaid. Better architecture is the cure. Meet your speaker Danny Thompson is a software engineer and career coach renowned for his "gas station to tech lead" story, which has inspired thousands to transition into the industry. Currently the Senior Developer Advocate at Atlassian and author of The Developer's Guide to AI, he leverages his massive social media platform to provide high-impact networking advice and technical mentorship. A powerhouse community builder, Danny founded the Commit Your Code conference and has personally helped hundreds of developers land their first roles through his "no-excuses" approach to professional growth. The Workshop: Build a Gemini-Powered YouTube Summariser Unlock the power of multimodal AI in this hands-on workshop where you’ll build a Gemini-powered YouTube Summarizer from scratch. Move beyond simple text prompts and learn to architect a full-stack application that "watches" videos to extract instant, actionable insights. By the end of the session, you’ll have mastered the Google Gen AI SDK, integrated Vertex AI into a Flask backend, and deployed your own live app to the cloud. Don't just watch the AI revolution: build it. Meet your instructor Russal Arya is a full-stack developer and UI/UX designer based in Sydney, where he serves as an Organiser for GDG Sydney. Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Computing at the University of Sydney, Russal specializes in building robust web applications using React and TypeScript, with a deep interest in native mobile development.
