Accessibility is one of the most rewarding fields in digital - but it’s also one of the easiest to burn out in.

In this talk, Danny Lancaster shares an honest reflection on the realities of working as an accessibility advocate, drawing from personal experience and industry conversations. From the emotional weight of advocating for inclusion, to the complexity of the work and the constant need to push for prioritisation, this session explores the challenges that often go unspoken.

The talk also looks at the importance of sustainability in accessibility work - how to navigate conflict, manage expectations, and recognise progress without striving for perfection.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the human side of accessibility, and practical ways to stay effective without burning out.
