July 25, 2025 — In this session, we will explore practical ways to implement accessibility best practices without hiring a consultant. We’ll start by addressing why accessibility is important for every website. Then, we’ll identify factors that prevent website owners from reducing accessibility barriers. Finally, we’ll cover how to find and address the most common accessibility issues.

Attendees will have opportunities to ask questions about strategy and implementation. The session will include a digital worksheet to help attendees follow through on their accessibility goals.

July 25, 2025 — In 2019 Allie Nimmons and Michelle Frechette grew tired of people constantly asking if they knew any black people who could speak at events or be guests on podcasts. So they set out to create a spreadsheet of folks that they knew in the WordPress space.

But about 20 rows into that Google sheet, they realized that it would be a herculean effort to reach out to each of those people on a regular basis to make sure they were still available and interested in being contacted. There was also no way to include people they didn’t know. And that limiting such an endeavor to one group of underrepresented people was shortsighted.

So Underrepresented in Tech was born.

In the almost five years since the database was published, the project has grown to include a podcast and webinars. There have been racist rants and online attacks, but there have also been gratitude and acclaim for the work that’s been done.

This session will talk about the WHY, the HOW, and the HOPES associated with Underrepresented in Tech. Attendees will leave with an understanding of how each of us can make a difference for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
