ARIA for Beginners: Maria Maldonado

Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) is a set of attributes that improve web accessibility for people using assistive technologies. It enhances HTML by adding details to interactive elements, making web applications easier to navigate and use.

Join us for this beginner-friendly session, where we’ll explore what ARIA is, when to use it (and when not to), and best practices for ensuring an inclusive digital experience. Whether you're a developer, designer, or accessibility advocate, this event will equip you with essential ARIA knowledge to enhance web accessibility.
