Talk 1:
AI for Accessibility: The Challenge and The Promise
Puneet Kala, Senior Software Engineer at Zalando SE

Many face daily challenges due to disabilities; AI promises a more accessible and inclusive world. This talk explores how AI enhances digital accessibility through technologies like AI-powered screen readers, computer vision for navigation, and AI-driven personalization for cognitive disabilities. We'll demonstrate how Google's MediaPipe specifically empowers us to significantly improve accessibility solutions. By also making AI itself accessible, we can truly revolutionize inclusion, enabling full participation for millions and fostering a more equitable society.

Talk 2:
Beyond the UI: Compose as a Foundation for Multiplatform Apps
Ash Davis

In this talk, we’ll explore how Compose Multiplatform can reshape not just the user interface, but the entire architecture of your app. You’ll learn techniques for structuring state, managing business logic, and creating modular, testable, and maintainable systems across platforms. Whether you’re targeting mobile, desktop, or beyond, this session will give you the tools and perspective to design applications that exploit the efficacy of Compose.
