Beyond 99 Red Balloons: a guide to accessible images  media slide with headshot of AmyJune Hineline

Accessible code is imperative for inclusion, but all the code in the world doesn’t do any good if the content is not meaningful to our content consumers.

In this session, we’ll go over what we can do as content authors to ensure inclusivity for all of our readers beyond semantic markup and structured content around images.

And because we love to include images on our digital assets to support and add context to our information and concepts, we'll do a deep dive into best practices for adding alternative text. We'll make it fun by walking through some imagery from the 80s music scene. From 99 Red Balloons shaking us all night long, to Burning Down the House we don’t want to leave any of our users behind.
