ONA Weekly #444: Save The Date: Accessibility Pros (a11y) Meetup

ONA Meetup: Accessibility pros (a11y) idea swap

ONA is continuing our popular series of community meetups and idea swaps — both virtually and in person — throughout 2023. Join us on Wednesday, Feb. 8, for the first event of 2023, Accessibility Pros (a11y) Idea Swap.

Participants will dive into accessibility best practices and connect with product leaders, advocates and others interested in making news more accessible. This is a participatory event — not a webinar — and you can expect to contribute to the conversation and share your ideas in a series of breakout discussions.

Stay up to date on this and other upcoming ONA events and programs.
