About this Event
NDC Oslo takes place on 8-12 June 2020 - and this year, NDC Oslo will be a completely online event. All the same great workshops, sessions, speakers, parties and conversations you've come to expect from NDC Conferences, but in an online format.

Between now and June, we're running a series of warmup meetups for NDC Oslo. Join our host Dylan Beattie for an hour of tech chat, a sneak preview of NDC Oslo Online, and a chance to ask questions about the online format and how it's all going to work.

We're also inviting some of the great speakers who will be appearing at NDC Oslo to share what they're working on. This week, Martine Dowden joins us to talk about web accessibility.

Can You Read Me Now

15% of the world’s population has some form of disability, but only very few of our websites are actually accessible. But what does that word mean anyway? Accessible?

In this talk we will go over what accessibility means in the context of web content and how to get your team started in making sure your content can be accessed by all.
