  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.

  WEBCAST SEP 12 – A11yNYC – Real AI Solutions for Accessibility Challenges – Kevin Berg 

  On Tuesday September 12 2023 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EDT (23:30-00:30 UTC) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘Real AI Solutions for Accessibility Challenges‘.

  Artificial intelligence (AI) is here today and can make it easier to do the right thing when building web and mobile applications. Large language models and the coding tools built around them (Github, Amazon Code Whisperer) have made it faster than ever to create code.

  However, since the majority of the code used to train these models is itself inaccessible, the code completions they offer are more often than not, inaccessible. The good news for accessibility is, there are some important techniques that get around this problem. Evinced VP of Solution Engineering Kevin Berg will show how it’s easier than ever to build web and mobile experiences the right way from the get-go.

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