Beyond happy to share that the @TetraLogical@a11y.info team will be assembling in #Toronto for #A11yTO on 19 and 20 October 💜

I first gave the talk at #a11yTO 2017:

I last gave it at #CSUNATC 2018:

No video. The slides are embedded SlideShare (which I no longer use owing to inaccessibility of platform).

Hey #a11y friends, have any of you attended the #a11yTO conference? What was your experience? Is it worth the money and time/energy spent in travel and... just being in a big crowd for 2 days in general? Do you think the virtual options offer the same value?

Whoop! Team @TetraLogical@a11y.info will be in #Toronto for #A11yTO in October! 💜

Day 153. On the second day of #A11yTO there were lots of talks with a ton of practical information. Here's a thread with some of my highlights. Very proud that Spotify Design was one of the sponsors!

@a11yMel spoke about continuous accessibility for quality at scale and reducing risks. Measure progress, but focus on people. When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. Accessibility is good for business but great for users.

Day 152. Last year I attended #A11yTO. There were no talks about iOS specifically. But I'll share in a thread some of the learnings, from the first day, that still apply when developing accessible apps for iOS.

@annaecook talked about annotating designs for accessibility. Loved that she thinks of it as a communication and learning tool that can help divide the gap between design and development. Give it a go and see if it works for your team.

Because @Meetup@twitter.com has chosen to install an overlay, #a11yTO will no longer be using the platform, starting immediately.

I applaud their decision and hope other meetup groups in the accessibility space follow:

Overlays are a barrier to real people.

I just found 3 old laptops:

A Dell circa 2010 with a role=drinks sticker on it, a Huwei with an #a11yTO sticker and a USB-A port, and a 2008 MacBook Air.

I ought to put Windows 11 on one of these to play around with the new Windows Speech Recognition.

For folks who wanted my slides from #A11yTO on Annotating Designs for Accessibility: https://noti.st/annaecook/hHCBGI

At #a11yTO #a11yIRL this puppet appears on the screens and tells us to take a seat and it might as well be Pennywise.
