Get ready to geek out and have a blast at Tech Talk!

In July we welcome a guest from Akron who is spending the day the at the Tech loft. In the evening he will be giving a talk!

Our guest, James Warnken will demonstrate how inaccessible design impacts users with assistive technologies like screen readers, magnification, keyboard interaction, and more. Afterward, we’ll dive into best practices and easy wins to make your websites and apps more accessible for everyone. We’ll wrap up by opening the conversation up for questions and discussion.
