Perth Web Accessibility CampWe're nearly there: here's our last speaker profile - this time on my colleague Vithya!
Online meetings have been a challenge over the past 3 years with the sudden transition to platforms not used by many on a regular basis. How can these meetings be made more accessible for everyone? Vithya Vijayakumare from VisAbility will provide some insight.
How can you get into the web accessibility industry? Bri Norton and Amanda Mace from OzeWAI will be discussing the accessibility apprentices program.

Pssst. Febrary 29th exists this year. How do we know? It's when we're running #PWAC2024! The Great Debate is back, hooray!
