Making Accessibility More Accessible 🆓

📆
Date: Thu, April 10, 2025 at 4:00 PM (UTC) · 1.5 hours
🎤
Organized by: UXPS
💰
Price: Free

"Accessibility guidelines are essential, but scattered, overwhelming, and not always practical for people or even teams in daily work. The WCAG 2.2 Card Deck brings together key elements from tools, articles, and documentation into a single structured format - designed to reduce cognitive load, support clarity, and make accessibility work more actionable.

This talk explores the decisions behind the card deck: how simplification can still be accurate (enough), how structure can drive better team behavior, and why even small design decisions should reflect how humans actually process information."

Organized by: Airtime

"More often than not, the reason your messages don't land has nothing to do with the intelligence or attention of the person. It has something to do with their personality.

Having worked for years with product & design teams, Naresh has found that developing internal personas using Thomas Erikson’s framework from ‘Surrounded by Idiots’ can effectively alleviate communication problems."
