#### Meet Our Speakers:

1. Homer Gaines:

• Title: Why is June 28, 2025 important?
• Let's take a look at the European Accessibility Act (EAA), introduced in 2019. This directive aims to enhance the accessibility of goods and services for older individuals and those with disabilities.

2. Abbey Perini:

• Title: Slots, Slots, Slots, Everybody! (or how I learned programmers owe it all to fiber)
• Abstract: I've been crocheting since 2013 and knitting since 2018, and I had noticed some similarities between the way I approached a project in either fiber arts or programming. What I did not expect to find was a rich history of fiber arts and programming influencing each other.

3. Alex Riviere:

• Title: Custom Elements Without the ShadowDOM
• Abstract:Do you miss the old days of jquery's $(document).ready()? Maybe you are wanting to get into web components, but the ShadowDOM scares you. Let me talk you through the "When", "Where", and "Why" of custom elements and how you might benefit from them even if you don't use ShadowDOM.

4. Raymond Greeley:

• Raymond is a senior software engineer. With years of experience in JavaScript and cloud technologies, he excels in creating efficient and high-performing applications. Raymond is also known for his engaging presentations and practical coding sessions.

5. Natalie Cole:
   Abstract: Traditional software development approaches often invite Quality Assurance (QA) to the final stages of a project, treating it as an afterthought rather than an integral part of the development process. This approach is fundamentally flawed, leading to increased costs, delayed releases, and most importantly compromised product quality. In this presentation, Natalie will explore the pitfalls of bringing QA into a project after development is complete and discuss how to shift the cultural paradigm to prioritize quality from the outset. Natalie will dive into the benefits of a "Quality First" approach, where QA is embedded in every stage of development, from requirements gathering to deployment. This proactive strategy enables teams to identify and address defects early, reducing the likelihood of downstream errors and ensuring a higher quality product. Moreover, Natalie will discuss practical strategies for transforming your organization's culture to prioritize quality and excellence by transforming the QA team and their roles, our QA processes and the technology used to achieve good quality.
   Join Natalie as she explores the importance of building a culture of quality and excellence, and learn how to implement a "Quality First" approach that sets your organization up for success.
