DS Live is a webinar series from zeroheight where we invite the best speakers from around the world to deliver talks on design systems, and everything that goes on around them, with live Q&A after the talk. In this edition, we have Hidde de Vries talking about accelerating accessibility in a component-based world.
Components have revolutionised the way we work, as they allow us to invent wheels only once. Executed well, they can save all of the team time. This provides an opportunity for broadening the impact of accessibility, too. This practical talk will go into some strategies for baking accessibility into components, so that more people can use them.
