Accessibility, Dammit!

Presented at The Circle Of HOPE (2018), July 21, 2018, 4 p.m. (60 minutes).

Accessibility is for everyone, and yet not everyone is for accessibility. Security has gone from being a layer atop existing products to a ubiquitous and pervasive presence in information technology. Accessibility should be second nature as well. This talk will delve into the subject and discover where progress is being made and where it is failing, where we are and what is on the horizon, how it overlaps and how it complements other tech fields, and why you should be for accessibility too.
