Rethinking “Build Now, Test Later” - Embedding Inclusive Design with User Testing & Accessibility.
User Testing and Accessibility are a core aspect of the design of modern services and yet are increasingly done at the end of projects or as an afterthought. This creates challenges and barriers for people with diverse backgrounds and needs, especially when attempting to access and use products and services. As technology becomes more essential, so does the need to improve user designs by embedding inclusive design into products and services while considering equity and diversity.

This will be a Panel, hosted by Ross Plattel from CivicTechYYC with panelists:

• Uriel Karerwa from IncluCity Calgary
• Paula Madeira from Calgary UX
• Kate Bazunova and Lavanya Mohan from The Test Tribe.
