A premium subscription, you say? Donโ€™t mind me, Iโ€™ll just be sending you offers for PDF remediation via LinkedIn DMs.

Interested in learning how to participate in the Showcase? Here is your FAQ, in video form!

This showcase has become my favorite gaming accessibility event in recent years, I hope you check it out!

I want the entire industry to start doing trailers like this more often. Focus on gameplay and showing off awesome (a11y) features. This is the way to do it!

Such a BRILLIANT way to do colorblind accessibility. I get so giddy watching trailers showcasing accessibility features like this!

Oh wow, no! Iโ€™ve never seen this one before. Mine didnโ€™t have the dragon. VERY cool!

Exactly this. Even if you do everything perfectly there are so many things that can still go wrong when saving as PDF. Itโ€™s super tough!!

As someone who has taught PDF accessibility, I love this. Making PDFs accessible is a nightmare and despite being paid to work in that space I am here to say that PDFs suuuuuck and I wouldnโ€™t wish them on anyone.
