Are your Digital Services Accessible?
The modern workplace is more diverse than ever. Interested parties include a whole strata of incredibly talented people whose needs are regularly overlooked through poor design & development, and a failure to comply with disability and accessibility regulations around the world.
This session will give you an introduction to the digital needs of those in need of accessibility support and the software tools available to help you test that you are meeting a significant portion of those needs.
In this presentation we will use examples of acceleration across multiple teams and companies to uncover what worked, what did not, and why. All to give you a toolkit of potential options that may help in your context.
