Speaking
I have had the pleasure to speak and teach at a number of conferences, meetups, and classrooms. I love speaking to both present and future developers about all sorts of development topics, from accessibility to fun WordPress experiments. Below is a list of both my upcoming and previous speaking dates and presentations.
Interested in having me speak at your event? Questions about a past presentation? Just want to chat? Let’s get in touch!
Upcoming event – Plot a course!: Creating Accessible SVG Charts in WordPress
WordPress Accessibility Day 2023
September 28, 2023 @ 02:00 UTC
Graphs and charts visualize complex data, making patterns inside datasets easier to understand. An important part of creating data visualizations is ensuring that they are accessible and responsive, so that they may be understood by as many people, using as many kinds of devices as possible.
