There’s a lot that goes into writing good microcopy for accessibility: Identifying what needs it, writing for something spoken aloud versus read silently, and finding a champion to help you develop it.
Join Portland Accessibility and User Experience Meetup (PDX A11Y UX, https://www.meetup.com/Portland-Accessibility-and-User-Experience-Meetup/) for a co-meetup with Portland UX Writers (https://www.meetup.com/Portland-UX-Writers-Meetup/). Kate Knappett and Josh Hetrick will share guidelines and tips and try them out in a group activity. Together, we’ll find solutions to make your writing more accessible and help you become an accessibility champion on your team.
Agenda:
* 6:00-6:15 Networking, topic post-its, job opportunities, food, and drinks
* 6:15-6:30 Presentation
* 6:30-7:00 Panel Q&A and group activity
* 7:00-7:30 Wrap-up
Food and drinks provided by Cvent, our host for the event. Attendance is capped and IDs required.
