"It is not that people don't think about accessibility but never had to think about it. They are not being nasty people, they have just never been aware of it, so make them aware and raise the awareness within the organisation, within all the pockets" #TechSharePro22

Quite a striking stat, only 1% of advertising in the UK is led by someone with disability. Despite the fact that roughly one-in-five people in the UK have some form of disability. #TechSharePro22

Favourite panel so far: discussing accessibility and technology with @Rahul400 , @AccessibilityC3 and Sarah Herrlinger. So dynamic, meaningful and beautifully moderated by @khansaMaria2

Last, but actually first on the team, was @arhayward. He started all this. He always brought a different perspective to everything we did and helped make us better. He is responsible for the image description reminder on the web. Just a great, accessibility-forward web engineer.
