Staff Reporter

Drupal GovCon 2024 will feature a session titled "What the Heck is ARIA? A Beginner's Guide to ARIA for Accessibility," presented by Kat Shaw, a Lead Engineer and Accessibility Advocate (CPACC) at Lullabot. Scheduled for August 14, 2024, at 9:00 AM EST in Orem Hall A, this 45-minute session aims to educate attendees on using ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) attributes to enhance accessibility in web development.

Attendees are expected to have a basic understanding of HTML to maximize their learning experience.

Kat Shaw, speaking for the second consecutive year at Drupal GovCon, notes that this session is based on her article published on the Lullabot website. It is designed for anyone interested in improving the accessibility of their websites or applications.
