Featured: Inclusive Design 24 happens September 23 2021
One of my favorite accessibility conferences happens this Thursday. Inclusive Design 24 streams online for free for 24 hours, packed with talks all about inclusive design, accessibility and more. Best of all, all the talks get recorded and posted later so you can catch up on your own time.
Get ready for Inclusive Design 24.
