The accessibility team at Figma has solved some of Figma's unique challenges over the past year, & we have ambitious plans for the years to come. In this talk, we'll look at how screen readers can access canvas content in FigJam & Figma prototypes, & share some upcoming accessibility features.
We'll also take a step back to discuss some the technical, organizational, & interaction design challenges we've encountered in this transition & how we've tackled them.
Join us to learn about how Figma is working to build an effective accessibility practice in a fast-growing organization. We'll discuss some accessibility features available today, give a sneak peek at what's coming soon, & share our strategies for taking on this change.
There will be time for your questions.
This event will be online & in-person.
