Description
Are accessibility and inclusion part of an information architect’s responsibilities? We maintain that they are not just a part but an important part of doing great IA work.
In this fast-paced session, we will discuss the reasons why and share several examples of inclusive and exclusive IA. Attendees will leave with a renewed sense of purpose and a job aid to keep and share with their teams to help keep inclusive design integrated in the product lifecycle rather than a checklist item or afterthought.
Attendees will be encouraged to share their own stories of how inclusive practices have (and haven’t!) been part of their past work.
