Jay’s Presentation – Designing for Accessibility: Inclusive Practices for Your Digital Presence

Is your brand and website inclusive and accessible to everyone? People with disabilities are often overlooked in digital experiences. In this short talk, Jay will share an overview of how we can make our brands and websites more inclusive, using web accessibility best practices. There will be space for questions and discussion, including reflecting on what we can do within our organizations when we return to our desks.
