Elevating the Web: An Adventure in Web Accessibility: Nora Guy
In this engaging presentation, Nora L. Guy (CPACC) will take you on a storytelling adventure, worthy of Charles Muntz, through the world of digital accessibility. Using the characters and themes of Pixar’s Up to guide the audience, Nora explains her “secret sauce” for helping ensure good UX: empathy-driven storytelling that helps stakeholders understand the very human need for accessibility.
Nora will guide participants in understanding the principles of POUR and seeing accessibility not as a box to check off, but as a solid foundation for building a digital home that can soar to new heights.
Key outcome: At the end of the presentation, participants will feel empowered as not only UX architects but good stewards of the web.
These meetups take place via Zoom and are live captioned. You must register to attend via Zoom.
