A11y North | Testing the Inaccessible

Accessibility is rarely straightforward when teams are working against time, dealing with scale and trying to make progress in complex digital environments.

Hippo is hosting the third session in this year’s series at Hippocampus, where Adam Clarkson will share how he and his colleague, Nick, carried out an accessibility audit of a large inaccessible website in just two days.

The session will explore how to approach a site with a high volume of accessibility issues, where to begin when the challenge feels difficult to contain and how to prioritise action in a way that makes the most of a short turnaround time.

Alongside the talk, the evening will open up space for further discussion through a fireside chat and Q&A, with time to connect over pizza and drinks.
