Accessibility in Action: How Every Voice Can Drive Change
In this talk, we’ll explore how every individual, regardless of their role or title, plays a vital part in shifting the needle for accessibility within our organizations. Product managers, UX professionals, design researchers, and engineers all have a crucial role to play in integrating accessibility into the product development lifecycle. We’ll discuss how small changes in our day-to-day processes can lead to big improvements in how we design and build products that are accessible to everyone.
This session will focus on practical, actionable strategies to ensure accessibility is woven into every stage of product development—from ideation and design to testing and launch. As technology continues to evolve, we must maintain an adaptive and flexible mindset while staying true to our core values of inclusivity. By the end of the session, you'll have a clear understanding of how small, collective actions can lead to a more accessible, equitable experience for all users.
Join us for an engaging discussion on how to embed accessibility into our work, making it not just a checkbox, but a mindset that drives innovation and positive change.
