Keynote: Moving from Awareness to Action: Creating Inclusive and Accessible Experi...
summary
Claims that one in four Americans have a disability (likely higher post‑pandemic) and that 82% use social media by 2021 frame concrete failures: a VoiceOver demo shows stylized usernames becoming unreadable, WebAIM finds 86.4% of homepages with low contrast and 26% of images missing alt text, and RNIB research reports 9 in 10 blind/partially sighted people struggle with packaging. Recommended fixes are specific: add alt text, camelCase hashtags, captions, keyboard focus indicators, company policies, role‑specific training, and hiring people with disabilities.
