Accessibility Talks: “Accessibility: The Never-Ending Story” with AmyJuneHineline April 29 at 12p ET. Accessibility isn’t a task you finish. We audit, fix, and launch but the work can quietly slip as content changes, teams evolve, and standards advance.
 This session explores accessibility as a living practice across the lifecycle of open source projects, including insights from WCAG 2.2, WCAG 3, and the European Accessibility Act. Learn how to keep accessibility from fading after launch and build workflows that sustain progress.

Accessibility isn’t something you finish.

Join us for #A11yTalks: Accessibility: The Never-Ending Story with AmyJune Hineline.
A look at accessibility as an ongoing practice, with insights from WCAG 2.2, WCAG 3, and the European Accessibility Act.

Accessibility Talks: "When Accessibility Isn't Easy: Website Features That Need Extra Love" with Suzanne Dergacheva, Co-founder at Evolving Web. Not all parts of a website are equally straightforward when it comes to accessibility. Some features — especially custom interactions like maps, filters, calendars, and sliders — pose significant challenges that can slow down a project if they're not identified early. In this session, we'll explore real-world examples of features and design patterns that often require additional attention to meet accessibility standards.

Happening next week!
Our Sept #A11yTalks will tackle some of the hardest accessibility challenges: maps, sliders, filters, calendars + more.

Learn how to spot red flags early & plan for inclusive solutions.
