I learned that Accessibility Ant is not what I thought it was
CSUN conference is a pilgrimage, a place where the people of disability, accessibility and the #a11yIndustry meet to talk lived reality, push abstracted accessibility solutions and products.
I have been attending CSUN regularly since 2007. This year was the first time I traveled to CSUN representing TetraLogical, and not TPGi.
Working remotely since 2006, conferences are a social lifeline. A time when i get to leave my home office to hide in a hotel room, for some of the time, and emerge to immerse myself in the incoming tide of the many characters that inhabit my accessibility life.
I took a lot of photos at CSUN 2024, here is a selection 
Privilege
I always come away from CSUN feeling I know less than I thought I did.
