Practical Accessibility
Full-day workshop • Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
Wondering how to make your websites or data visualizations more accessible? Wondering which effect WAI-ARIA has on the user experience? Unsure how to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)? Or how to even use them as a developer? And what can be done when aiming beyond compliance? Sarah will guide you through the first steps and take a deep dive into web accessibility. We will test real-life examples, improve upon inaccessible components, and build new ones from scratch. From simple components like links or buttons, to more complex elements such as sortable data tables or visualizations. Together, we will analyze common mistakes, and explore best practices, guidelines, and tools that can be used to avoid them.

Designing For Complex UIs, 2024 Edition
Full-day workshop • Wednesday, September 11, 2024.
Not much can surprise us when it comes to interface challenges. We can design a decent card, a well-rounded accordion and an exquisite hamburger navigation. But what if there are slightly more complex UX challenges ahead of us?
In this workshop with Vitaly Friedman, UX consultant and creative lead behind Smashing Magazine, you will learn how to tackle intricate design challenges in corporate, enterprise and B2B environments with ease.
If you’ve attended a workshop on Complex Design Patterns in previous years, that’s a fully revamped and updated workshop tailored for even more complex UX challenges.
