Access Granted: Accessibility in the Modern Web

DSM Web Geeks is excited to welcome Finley Blakeman for our May meetup.

In this talk, ‘Access Granted: Accessibility in the Modern Web’, Finley will explore how the modern software engineering landscape has transformed the way we build for everyone. From the early history of human and computer interaction to recent advancements in accessibility, this session highlights how far we have come and where we still have work to do.
Topics will include how accessibility has evolved alongside modern web development and how today’s tools and practices can help you build more inclusive, user-friendly applications.

Finley Blakeman is a full-stack software engineer and accessibility advocate with Lean TECHniques, bringing experience building enterprise web applications and researching modern accessibility in human-computer interactions.
