  WEBCAST NOV 19 – A11yNYC – How Continuous Accessibility Can Boost Your Accessibility Maturity – Andrew Hedges 

  On Tuesday November 19, 2024 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EST (00:30-01:30 UTC) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘How Continuous Accessibility Can Boost Your Accessibility Maturity‘. Andrew Hedges, COO and co-founder of Assistiv Labs, will talk about the intersection of good processes and automated tooling.

  Accessibility maturity models help organizations track progress across their accessibility programs. Automated tooling (sometimes called Continuous Accessibility) is a proven way to boost software quality at scale. What options exist to apply Continuous Accessibility concepts to make progress against today’s accessibility maturity models? Process gets a bad rap. When employed effectively, solid processes are what allow organizations to repeatedly achieve desired outcomes. Web accessibility is no different.

  The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Accessibility SIG.
