In this episode, accessibility advocate Amy June dives deep into the critical importance of making digital slideshows and images accessible from the ground up. She challenges the notion that accessibility is an add-on, framing it instead as a fundamental user right. Through practical examples and clear guidance, Amy June walks us through essential accessibility best practices, including keyboard navigation, focus order, target sizing, and seizure prevention techniques—all within the context of commonly used slideshow components.

She also explores the nuances of writing meaningful alt text for different image types, helping teams understand the functional role of visuals in content. With a focus on collaboration, the presentation encourages a team-wide, holistic approach to accessibility that spans design, development, and content management. If you're looking to build inclusive web experiences, this session is a must-listen.
