Scaling Accessibility: More Than a Metric, It’s a Movement

Accessibility is often treated as a metric to report on or a risk to manage. But real progress happens when it becomes a movement people believe in. In this talk, Paul Lumsdaine shares how to build that movement by finding the helpers already doing the work, aligning accessibility with organisational goals, and creating the practices, training, and leadership support needed to scale it across teams. Attendees will leave with a practical view of how to move accessibility beyond compliance and into everyday product development.
