Tue, Sep 17, 2024, 6:00 PM PDTAccessibility Craft IRL Meetup
Migration Brewing, Portland, OR
Join Amber, her partner Steve, and our friends from AccessiCart for an in-person Accessibility Craft meetup after contributor day at WordCamp US 2024!

### About the Event

This is a casual, come-and-go networking event. We have reserved a private space at Migration Brewing’s Glisan Brewpub, which is about 1.5 miles away from the WCUS convention center (a short 5-minute car ride). Migration Brewing has one of the most diverse beer selections in town, with 30 taps and an award-winning food program.

Grab a craft beverage and dinner, and talk WordPress accessibility!

### Important Things to Know

We’ll be in Migration Brewing’s Annex, with overflow onto the patio. Migration Brewing’s building is fully ADA compliant and the Annex door is at ground level and easily accessible. You can check out Migration Brewing’s pub menu here.

Equalize Digital and AccessiCart will provide a drink ticket to attendees who have RSVPed and been confirmed. Food and additional beverages are your responsibility.

RSVP on the Equalize Digital website so we can count you in for drinks.

This is not an official WordCamp US event, but please wear your name badge if you have it so everyone knows who you are.

Thu, Oct 3, 2024, 3:00 PM UTCNavigating the Future: Using WordPress Menu Blocks That Work for Everyone
Link visible for attendees
Since the navigation menu is typically the first and most-used point of user interaction within a website, the menu must be accessible to all users – including those navigating the site through assistive technologies. This becomes even more important as a site grows and the menu complexity increases into multi-level megamenus. However, not all megamenu blocks are built with accessibility in mind. In this session, we will discuss the importance of accessible navigation, identify some common pitfalls of megamenu navigation solutions, explore the structural patterns of a truly accessible navigation menu, and learn how to determine which third-party solutions are developed with accessibility at the forefront by walking through the code structure of our custom megamenu block.

Learning Outcomes:

Understanding why accessible site navigation is important

Recognizing common accessibility pitfalls of megamenu structure

Identifying key structural elements of a truly accessible navigation menu

Implementing third-party solutions for megamenu blocks
