Talk Night Online - Demystifying Web Accessibility

As we head towards the end of summer, we're exciting to announce our first online talk night in a few months. We can't wait to see you all there!

Demystifying Web Accessibility
Accessibility is a decisive tool to make the internet a more inclusive place, it is absolutely crucial and despite the popular belief that only a small user group is affected, it benefits every single one of us. The reality doesn’t yet reflect that, though - accessibility often just seems like an afterthought.

I will show the benefits of implementing accessibility and eliminate some of the prejudices. ​I want the audience to take away the fact that it's rather easy to get started, that a little bit is better than nothing and give them helpful tools to put their motivation into action.
