SXSW 2025
Getting Started in Digital Accessibility
Description:
Proposed as part of a four day series of independent digital accessibility workshops, this one will orient web professionals to the foundational concepts of digital inclusion - who benefits, why it matters, legal responsibilities, how to get started, and team-building to sustain a vibrant program of digital equity. Just as disability accommodations make the physical world easier for everyone to navigate, so it is with web. Join us to learn the basics, discover free resources, to build your practice, and connect to a generous, welcoming community.
