Hey y’all! I hope you had a safe and relaxing Thanksgiving holiday. December is shaping up to be a short but busy work month! I’ve crammed eight events into the next two weeks, which coincidentally fall during another eight day festival 🕎 (Happy Hanukkah!). I’m calling it the Festival of A11y, or Festiva11y 🎉 ♿. Okay, I might be stretching a little too hard for that portmanteau…
I’ve added a couple new workshops to the mix which are designed to be honest-to-goodness interactive discussion-based workshops. The two new sessions will focus on Drupal and STEM content respectively. We want to hear about your challenges and concerns, so please plan to attend with a list of questions.
We know it’s a crazy time with finals and winding down the year’s business, but we hope to see you at one (or all) of our sessions. Sign up below.
