Join us for an evening of learning and connection as we explore real-world accessibility wins. We'll hear from two speakers who've made accessibility happen within their organizations, followed by a panel discussion where you can ask questions and dig into what worked, what didn't, and how to drive change in your own context.
Our Speakers
Mark Lynskey is a front-end developer at Bank of New Zealand. Over six years, he's worked across the bank's products and helped build BNZ's enterprise design system with accessibility at its core. He now applies that foundation to crafting inclusive experiences for customers and staff.
Michele de Bes is the Experience Design Manager at Open Polytechnic. More details to come.
