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.
