SUMMARY:Shifting Further Left: Integrating Accessibility into the Earliest Stages of Development
DESCRIPTION:Presented on January 16\, 2025 at 11am ET\nPresenter: David Swallow\, Principal UX Consultant \nWhen it comes to accessibility and inclusive design\, “shifting left” means incorporating accessibility considerations early in the development process rather than addressing them later. This approach ensures that accessibility is integrated from the very beginning of a project\, rather than being treated as an afterthought. \nWhile the responsibility for accessibility often begins with developers and QA testers and extends to designers and UI/UX specialists\, we can take it a step further by engaging Product Owners\, Product Managers\, and Business Analysts. By doing so\, we can embed accessibility considerations into the planning and conceptual stages of the software development lifecycle. \nJoin us for this session\, where we will explore practical strategies for integrating accessibility into the very inception of your product. \nUnable to register?\nIf you are using Internet Explorer and have cookies disabled (either via privacy mode or decline cookies on the website)\, you may not be able to register through this form.

SUMMARY:How Strict Should We Be When Testing for WCAG Conformance?
DESCRIPTION:Presented on December 12\, 2024 at 10 AM ET\nPresenter: James Edwards\, ARC Consultant \nThe Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are a curious blend of strictness and looseness. Some guidelines are precise\, with clear objective requirements\, while others are more far more subjective and open to interpretation. Why is that? \nThis webinar begins with a simple question — “Which WCAG conformance level should we aim for?” But to answer that effectively\, we’ll have to ask some deeper questions\, such as — “Who do we favor when there’s more than one interpretation?” \nOur clients are the ones who hire us\, to help them make their content more accessible. But is it actually our job to help clients? \nUnable to register?\nIf you are using Internet Explorer and have cookies disabled (either via privacy mode or decline cookies on the website)\, you may not be able to register through this form. \nIf you are still unable to register\, please email ida@tpgi.com with your name and contact information.
