Part of the Tech for Good UK Network, there will be two great speakers, you'll get the chance to meet others using digital as a tool for positive change plus the opportunity to share your own work with those attending.
Our first speaker is Wojtek Kutyla, covering Web Accessibility: Unexpected Surprises

He often engages in training and aims to empower businesses with tools that allow them to design mindfully and sustainably. His special interests lie in web accessibility and inclusive design.

Principles we are working to as part of the Tech for Good UK Network:
- Technology can be a force for good in society
- Work in the open - it makes collaboration easier. We’re here to collaborate, work together and be part of something bigger.
- Lead by example - celebrate the radical approaches brought by everyone in the community and understand that people have different lived experiences.
- Do no harm / operate responsibly - despite our best intentions, no one is exempt from making a mistake. But we strive to do our utmost best to ensure we’re accountable for our actions.
- Don’t ponder, do. But do so responsibly.
Why is it 10am-12pm?
I ran a poll on Twitter and this time slot was most popular. It allows folks from outwith Glasgow to get in easily and it allows working parents & carers to attend without lots of planning. Unfortunately no timeslot we choose is going to be perfect for everyone. We will see how this goes and we can change timings for the next one if there's enough demand.
