Speakers:: Shawn Henry

What if there was one simple thing you could do that would vastly improve peoples' lives around the world, advance your career, and benefit your organization? And missing it is doing harm. In this keynote, Shawn challenges the way many people think about web accessibility, and encourages a change in how we approach accessibility. She illustrates how making your websites and online materials accessible to all (think: aging baby boomers using iPhones, as well as people with disabilities) is enlightened self-interest.
