Green Accessibility for Web Developers
Accessibility and "greening the web" can both have incredibly positive impacts for people accessing information and services online. Speaker Amy Drayer, the user interface developer for the University of Minnesota, is involved in many accessibility communities, as well as climate and sustainability communities, and has spoken on both topics for more than five years.
In her presentation, she will:
- Introduce both web accessibility and sustainability guidelines
- Include a look at the state of the web
- Discuss several techniques to address concerns identified in the trends
The target audience is web designers and developers, but all are welcome!
