    WordCamp Europe 2023Speaker: Merary Alvarado

    October 1, 2023 — New technologies are demanding more knowledge and technical skills in areas such as digital accessibility.

    The effort is focusing on UX/UI design, data visualization, business transformation, entrepreneurship, innovation, amongst others.

    One of the biggest challenges is how can we present the information in a way that will be responsible, accessible, usable, comprehensible, technical and all at once.

    Sounds crazy, right?

    Thus, If I tell you that there is a portfolio of opportunities to create information that meets all those criteria. Would you dare to attend the session?
