Deque System's Carie Fisher will present The Future of Accessibility is a "Choose Your Own Adventure" Book. The question Carie will address is: do designers and developers really think they can build an accessible experience for all - even though there are endless combinations of browsers, ATs, settings, and user preferences?
Marc B.D. Greenberg will discuss how robots are entering the public space and our lives more and more. What accessibility considerations should be made and how can we get in front of that?
