Accessibility: Ask Me Anything

The WordPress Helsinki meetup group aims to bring people together of all skill levels, from beginners to WordPress professionals. WordPress Helsinki is purely organised by community volunteers, and operates under the WordPress code of conduct.

This month we are doing something slightly different. Instead of our usual presentation format, we will an accessibility expert, Sami Keijonen, answering any questions you may have regarding web accessibility. Web accessibility is crucial for promoting inclusivity, complying with legal requirements, fulfilling ethical obligations, reaching a broader audience, enhancing usability, improving SEO, and future-proofing digital resources.
