Advancing Digital Accessibility with W3C WAI — keynote recording available

Dear WAI Interest Group,

Shawn Lawton Henry (W3C Director, Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)) 
and Kevin White (Senior Principal Accessibility Specialist) led an 
interactive session at the AccessU 2025 training conference. It provided 
practical guidance on using W3C accessibility resources to expand your 
skills and your effectiveness in advancing accessibility.

See the recording of Advancing Digital Accessibility with W3C WAI [1].

Topics include:

  	* how WAI resources help you to promote that accessibility is about 
people [2] and improving the user experiences of people with 
disabilities, and that accessibility is not just about meeting standards 
(timestamp 10:38)
  	* how WCAG 2.2 [3] supporting materials are being improved and WCAG 3 
is years away from being completed (timestamp 9:04)
  	* how WCAG 3 [4] differs from WCAG 2 and the new outcome-driven 
approach of WCAG 3 (timestamp 30:19)
  	* how you can contribute to accessibility work at W3C WAI (time stamp 
4:35)
  	* where you can find free online resources to support you in planning, 
managing, designing, and developing for digital accessibility (timestamp 
10:15) -- including an accessibility foundations course [5] (timestamp 
50:26)

The session included 30 minutes of audience questions.
