Accessibility Ambassadors: Green accessibility for web developers

Accessibility and "greening the web" can both have incredibly positive impacts for people accessing information and services online. Speaker Amy Drayer, the user interface developer for the University of Minnesota, is involved in many accessibility communities, as well as climate and sustainability communities, and has spoken on both topics for more than five years. In her presentation, she will introduce both web accessibility and sustainability guidelines. Her presentation will also include a look at the state of the web, and several techniques to address concerns identified in the trends. Target audience is web designers and developers, but all are welcome!
