Accessibility Ambassadors: Data Visualization

To give employees some breathing room during back-to-school, the Ambassadors are skipping September and will have an early October session instead.

How to present data in an inclusive and accessible manner has been a session request for a while. Unfortunately, it has proven difficult to find speakers with experience in this area. Thankfully, this month we are joined by Neha Bansal, senior director of application development in the Office of Information Technology, to discuss accessibility in data visualization.

This session will focus on strategies for building accessible data visualizations for users with visual impairments. We will delve into common misconceptions, visual best practices, and resources for creating accessible content. Please join us!
