At the November 2019 Chicago Digital Accessibility and Inclusive Design meetup last night, Fen Slattery highlighted steps you can take to give an accessible, inclusive presentation.

Slattery shared advice and tips about:

  • What to think about as you plan your talk
  • How to prepare readable slides
  • Using words and phrases that aren’t harmful
  • Structuring your presentation
  • Logistics for the day of your talk
  • Giving your talk
  • Getting feedback

I wasn’t able to catch the talk in person, since I was hosting our West Metro Detroit WordPress November 2019 meetup at the same time.

Thanks to the livestream recording, I watched the presentation later last night.

As an event organizer and presenter for over 10 years, I picked up several new tips from Slattery’s talk. Thank you Fen!
