🚀 The second talk - Effective Advocacy for Digital Accessibility
The internet is not accessible for everyone. Every day, people with disabilities are excluded from essential digital spaces, making it harder to participate fully in society. For organizations, becoming digitally accessible is often a complex journey — one that starts with awareness and requires buy-in from leadership. In this talk, I’ll share practical strategies for advocating digital accessibility within your organization, including how to raise awareness, build momentum, and connect accessibility with design. Whether you're just starting out or looking to increase your impact, this session will equip you with the tools to drive meaningful change.
Why Attend:
- Accessibility is hard — so every step forward counts.
- A great advocate is also a great storyteller.
- Persistence and resilience are key to making lasting change in digital accessibility.
