  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 OCT 2 – A11yNYC – Locking in Best Practices Early: Building PACNYC.org – Vlado Vince and Natalie Kertes 

  On Wednesday October 2, 2024 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EDT (23:30-00:30 UTC) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘Locking in Best Practices Early: Building PACNYC.org‘. PAC NYC is a new performing arts venue in Lower Manhattan that required the digital platforms from scratch. While this was a unique and exciting opportunity to follow best practices in accessibility from the beginning, it did come with some challenges unique to startup environments. Vlado Vince and Natalie Kertes will describe iterative accessibility improvements through the whole design process, from the initial website vendor selection through launch and subsequent feature releases.

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

  On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Thursday May 16 2024, at 17:30-19:30 UTC the Internet Society Accessibility Standing Group (ISOC ASG) will conduct an Accessibility Awareness Webinar.

This two hour seminar will also have an interactive Q&A session in the end to clarify any apprehensions or doubts the audience may have related to Accessibility.

  WEBCAST APR 2 – A11yNYC – A Taste of ReelAbilities New York 2024 – Isaac Zablocki 

  On Tuesday April 2, 2024 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EDT (23:30-00:30 UTC) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘A Taste of ReelAbilities New York 2024‘.

  Co-founder and director Isaac Zablocki will introduce the lineup for the upcoming 2024 ReelAbilities Film Festival: New York, which celebrates disability, inclusion & accessibility through wide-ranging international films. The presentation will include a sneak preview of BEAR, an 11-minute short film by director Kate Hammer following Jude, a neurodivergent creative, who tries her best to fit into a typical world. While desperately in need of a job, an already tense interview is made even worse by the fact that no one wants to mention the bear in the room.

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