We are sure that most of us product folks are generally aware of the importance of accessibility in products as well as other aspects of life. But are we really aware? Have we ever spoken to people with disabilities about how they use our products – and have we acted upon it? We’ve decided to make this event part of the Global Accessibility Awareness Day activities and raise our awareness by bringing you Sheri Byrne-Haber and Christian Ohrens.
