What We’re Working On

We’re working hard behind the scenes to make sure our events are as accessible and inclusiveas possible.

• All of our events will have real time CART services through [service name here]. Program leads must complete an event accessibility checklist while planning every event.

• Speakers who use slide presentations must complete a presentation accessibility checklist based on Allison Ravenhall’s article Inclusive Design For Accessible Presentations.

• We’re making our website fully WCAG 2.1 compliant and are open to suggestions for improvement at designweek@dc.aiga.org.

• We’ve consulted with various accessibility experts, including Nicole Barbuto of LookThink and Charles Hall, an invited expert of the W3C.

Is there anything else we should be doing? Let us know by emailing our Accessibility Team at designweek@dc.aiga.org.
