Accessibility: The Wake Up Call

Description:

Accessibility has never been the new, sexy, sleek tech to adopt. So how do you get everyone to buy into digital inclusion? Demos! Come see an accessibility demo. Understand the epiphany thousands of people around the US have been experiencing with our accessibility activation. See an individual with a disability show you live if they can or cannot get around on a website. Experience an "Aha" moment when you realize how a website built with little thought for accessibility affects a real user. We will provide you with basic tools to test and demonstrate accessibility on your own site. Learn why you should pitch accessibility to your colleagues and exactly how to give them their own "aha" moment and to wake-up accessibility!
