There are still knowledge gaps around accessibility issues and many barriers and hurdles still exist when building and developing websites. UMBRAAD is an opportunity for Umbraco and web practitioners to get together, learn and discuss accessibility in general, find out what's happening with Umbraco accessibility and to pick up any tools and techniques that may help them improve the accessibility of their sites.

Sessions will be delivered virtually and will be recorded unless the speaker requests to opt out. Sessions will be shared on the Umbraco Community YouTube Channel.

CFPs will be anonymised and reviewed by a panel of local community members, with a few slots reserved for sponsors.

Everyone involved in the event has to read and agree with our code of conduct.

Timeline:

• 27 February - CFP Open
• 06 April - CFP Closes
• 19 April - Communication of results
• 21 May - UMRBAAD 2026
