Join Matthew Luken of Deque Systems for an interactive session on the intersectionality of design practices and accessibility conformance. In digital accessibility, his research has found that 67% of defects can be reduced within the design discipline. Luken will help us explore where designers can make meaningful investments in ensuring their designs are accessible and how designers can help to reduce accessibility defects through the rest of the development and testing cycles. This session will provide examples and information usable for designers (both digital and non-digital) at any level of their career. There will be a question and answer period as well; please bring your questions.
