Is your team struggling with accessibility or unsure how to implement it effectively? While most web accessibility guidelines focus heavily on coding, accessibility is much broader and involves many components beyond just the technical side. Every team member — from developers and designers to content creators and project managers — plays a vital role in creating truly accessible products and services.

In this presentation, Sveta shares her personal experiences as a deaf accessibility consultant and highlights common challenges and overlooked issues that often cause products and services to fall short of true accessibility. Many of these insights may sound like common sense, but sadly, they are still missed by many teams.

The talk will help your team better understand why accessibility is a shared responsibility and must be considered from the very beginning of any project, not treated as an afterthought. It also covers important accessibility aspects and maintaining accessibility throughout ongoing content updates.

By learning practical examples and solutions, your team will be empowered to create inclusive experiences that serve a diverse range of users — because accessibility benefits everyone.
