Accessibility: The Diamond of the Season

The hit TV show Bridgerton is celebrated for its delectable drama, scintillating sex scenes and diverse representation. Although it's set in the Regency era, it's a wonderful display of who benefits from web accessibility! Promenade through the cast of characters of Bridgerton to see the impact of accessibility improvements.

Maia first gave this talk in Australia at A11yCamp in 2024, then again at the Perth Web Accessibility Camp. It's now time to bring this entertaining and popular talk home!

Note the time change! This is a lunchtime talk. Take a break from the office, bring your lunch and enjoy a fun, edu-cational accessibility session with friends.
