The WordPress Accessibility Team is organizing a new online event called WP Accessibility Day that will take place on October 2, 2020.
The event will feature 24 hours of educational sessions that focus on the intersection between WordPress and web accessibility. Organizers will be featuring a variety of topics, including theme and plugin accessibility, writing accessible content, accessibility testing, current standards, and more from a diverse group of global speakers.
Accessibility consultant and WordPress contributor Joe Dolson proposed the event use a model similar to the ID24 (Inclusive Design 24) conference, with one 30-40 minute talk per hour. This format merges aspects of virtual WordCamps and WordSesh, running a single-track of sessions over the span of 24 hours with live emcees to manage interviews and Q&A segments.
