Back in July of this year, Penny Kronz discussed WCAG 2.2 at the Higher Education Web Professionals Association (HighEdWeb) 2023 Accessibility Summit, detailing all of the potential changes that were being considered at the time.
Look for us at the HEWeb23# Annual Conference in Buffalo beginning Monday, October 9, where we will chat with other industry leaders about the release of WCAG 2.2 and what it means for Web Accessibility!
