Join me for free lunch & learn sessions on digital accessibility!
Updated on — 2 minutes to read
Although I'm still actively mentoring Front End Developers (FEDs) as much as I can, my real passion has always been inclusion and accessibility. So when some opportunities to deliver accessibility-related online talks came my way through my work at Nomensa, I jumped at the chance!
I've delivered training sessions before and done talks at tech-focused events in the past, but these sessions have rarely been open to the public... until now.
A brilliant organisation that delivers accessibility apprenticeships — Purple Beard — is hosting a series of free monthly "lunch and learn" online sessions and I'll be delivering the next two.
You are welcome to join!

Let's look at the GOOD, the BAD and the UGLY in recent trends! In this session we explore the current state of digital accessibility, examining both promising advancements and persistent challenges. We'll look at the role of AI in accessibility testing, design and development, and learn about some best practices and pitfalls to avoid.
