Do you know what accessibility is & why it's critical for 20%+ of your users? Have you ever heard of WCAG, POUR or ARIA? Accessibility should be a key element of our processes, but many people haven't even heard of it. In this introductory session you'll learn about assistive devices & technologies, accessibility standards & tools, and come away with quick & easy next steps for making your sites and applications more accessible to everyone.

Accessibility should be fundamental to the development process, but it isn’t. Most dev/designer/PMs haven’t even heard about it, let alone understand what it actually means. I want to give a basic intro + next steps so people can introduce a11y & inclusive design into their own companies/workflows.
