Accessibility workshops rarely fill conference rooms, and talks about digital accessibility often remain theoretical: we talk about why accessibility matters, but rarely about how to actually build it.

In this workshop, we want to change that.

Lack of hands-on practice prevents developers from making progress. Testing a website with a screen reader or using only a keyboard often feels complex or intimidating. Yet, there are simple, collaborative ways to learn and get started.

During the workshop, we will live-fix a deliberately inaccessible e-commerce website using mob programming. Step by step, we will experiment with accessibility tests, tools, and real code changes.

Whether you are a front-end developer, a generalist developer, or new to web accessibility, you will leave with:

- a concrete method to practice accessibility as a team
- a clear understanding of what really matters in accessibility
- proof that getting started with accessibility is not as hard as it seems

Please bring your headphones to listen to the screen reader. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, or if you do not have headphones, you will be able to enable live captions to read what the screen reader announces.
