W3C Accessibility presentations online: Leading Inclusive Digital Transformation & W3C WAI Update

Dear WAI Interest Group,

Two recent presentations are now available online.


    1. Leading Inclusive Digital Transformation — Accessibility <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvy85FCb0RM&list=PLhDEeYUfW02QhGrDOHxLM9ZNZnQiLiFuZ&index=1> (8 minutes)

This session briefly:

  * introduces accessibility, W3C, WAI, and WCAG
  * explains that accessibility is essential for some and useful for all
  * introduces a user-centered approach (rather than checklist approach)
  * lists ways that high-level leaders can champion accessibility
  * encourages making the digital world less disabling and more accessible


    *2. W3C WAI Update — What's in it for You <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0BzCcTpODo&list=PLhDEeYUfW02QhGrDOHxLM9ZNZnQiLiFuZ&index=2> (53 minutes)*

Description: Join us to learn about continuing work on Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2, on WCAG 3 (it's a long way off), and activities between 2 and 3. We'll also highlight updated resources to put WCAG standards in perspective and focus on the user experiences of disabled people, as well as the benefits for all — users, product owners, society. Find out about resources and opportunities that support your efforts to advance digital accessibility in your organization and worldwide.
