Our roundtables are a place to share experiences and challenges and exchange ideas. We do this with professionals from different markets and industries, with one overarching interest: web technology. Each month we host one online meeting, each with a different topic. For the month of May we have chosen a11y. Because we are in the Netherlands and the number of participants is limited, we have chosen to only make this round table available to persons in the Netherlands.

Topics: Inclusive language at work, From nobody cares to natively curios, Sticky a11y wins, From a11y awareness to knowledge and ability, Accessibility as a quiz, I have to tell you.
