Solve for one, extend to many: Inclusive Devices, Accessories, and Augmentations
David O'Reilly Lifecycle Marketing Manager Microsoft Clipchamp
It’s crucial for everyone to feel a sense of belonging when interacting with our products. That’s why inclusive design must be an ongoing part of our process. Disability isn’t merely a personal health condition; it’s a mismatch between our products and how users seek to interact with them. Designing with inclusivity in mind benefits not only those with permanent disabilities but also those with temporary or situational limitations. In some cases, inclusive designs go on to become an integral part of daily life.
In this discussion, we’ll explore inclusive designs that have transcended disability boundaries, innovative devices reshaping our interactions with computers, and perhaps even showcase a live demo
How to sell framework and architecture changes to the business
Benjamin Wirtz Managing Director Scalable Leaders

In this talk you will learn:
- Why engineers need to speak 'business'.
- What business stakeholders care about (beyond just revenue).
- How to build and defend the case for big engineering projects.
