Meet the Speakers:

Manuele Sakura Rommel & Matthias Geisler - Hosts & Moderators
Paul van Workum - Accessibility expert and founder of Appt
Mike Slinkman - Accessibility Engineer

Talk Highlights:

Paul — Strategy & Culture
Accessibility Foundations: From Strategy to Real Impact
Discover how accessibility isn't just about compliance; it's a competitive edge! 🌟 Paul explores why iOS, Android, and web platforms need unique approaches. Learn about the maturity model to gauge your team's progress and understand that while automated testing spots 30% of issues, real users with screen readers expose crucial gaps.

• Platform differences leading to extensive rework
• Maturity level and testing methodology
• Scalable quick wins

Mike — Technical Implementation
Building Bridges in the World of Accessibility: The Developer's Playbook
Now that you've learned the why, it’s time for the how! 🔧 Mike dives into the technicalities of creating genuinely accessible apps. He'll explain the operations of accessibility bridges across various platforms and highlight why the same code may not work uniformly on Android and iOS.

• Understand how accessibility bridges function
• Why different handling on Android & iOS matters
• Common pitfalls in bridging and how to avoid them

Accessibility doesn’t mean overhauling your UI; it’s about clarity in what you create. Watch Mike live-scan a real app to find bugs in seconds—saving days of manual testing time. He will also guide you on incorporating accessibility testing into your CI/CD pipeline to catch issues before they reach production.

• Live scan a real app to identify issues
• Thanks to Abra, each participant will receive a free Accessibility handbook! 📚

We appreciate Abra for their ongoing support; they are pioneers in app accessibility and test automation.
