We are excited to host Harish Beeram as he walks us through an Introduction to Accessibility! This crash course is a perfect beginner course for anyone that is looking to learn.

During this session, we’ll cover everything from high-level accessibility concepts to detailed implementation information that you can apply to projects at work. In addition to looking at code examples, we’ll also discuss ADA, Section 508 and WCAG 2.1, WAI, and ARIA. Join this session to learn the necessary fundamentals for accessibility.
