Martin’s talk:
Beyond components: building accessible experiences
Accessible components are the essential foundation of accessible products, but organisations over-estimate what a ‘fully accessible component library’ can do. In this talk, Martin Underhill shows how real accessibility is only possible when design systems go beyond components and provide usable patterns that guide real implementations, with concrete examples and the practical steps teams can take to avoid common issues.
