Events & Activities

There are some things any Web Developer, Content Designer or a Product Designer/UX person can do in order to improve web accessibility and inclusion. It doesn’t hurt to know about them — and they can help your customers. This short webinar is an opportunity to explore these methods. There will be a Q&A, too. Join us! I will run this short but informative webinar with my colleague, a Senior Software Engineer Marta Dabrowka.

Join us either in-person or on Zoom for our upcoming Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) event at DU. As GAAD states, “The purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital access and inclusion, and the more than One Billion people with disabilities/impairments.” Come learn and talk together as we hear from a panel of DU community members about their stories and experiences. Come learn about how you can ensure accessibility is a core part of our community!

Prakat Solutions, EqualGenius Foundation, Mitra Jyothi and Dalrada Corporation are hosting yet another virtual event this year. After 7 years of physical events we went virtual due to the global pandemic. The event in 2021 had the largest ever viewership in the history of our event which started off as GAAD India.

This year, we’re diving into Global Accessibility Awareness Day (#GAAD) with 3 awesome guest speakers: • First, we’ll learn from Ben Congleton with “Mistakes small business leaders make about accessibility and one CEO’s journey to fix his own.” • Next, Meryl Evans will join us for: “Communicating in multiple ways.” • Finally, to close out the evening, hear from Chris McMeeking as he discusses how current “Web Content Accessibility Guidelines don’t always map perfectly to native iOS and Android development.”

Please join us for a conversation using an exciting new process, 3 Practice Circles ( 3practices.com ) As described by the founders of the process: “Over decades, we observed, and eventually described and named the habits of people who cross the difference divide — repeatedly and on purpose. Not only do these people have time for real conversations, they’ve decided they don’t have time for conversations that aren’t real.”

Join us on Thursday, May 19, 2022, help us celebrate the 11th Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)! GAAD aims to get everyone talking, thinking, and learning about digital access and inclusion, and the more than One Billion people with disabilities/impairments.

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.
