This month we'll be welcoming:

Andy Carter - Magnifying the Web

Screen magnification and browser zoom are commonly used assistive technologies. However, they often get forgotten in the design and build of websites. This can introduce challenges to people with low vision that rely on them for browsing the Web. In this talk, I will share my personal experiences of these assistive technologies and some of the issues I regularly encounter.

Post-meetup social
After the talks we'll head to socialise at the nearby Triple Point Brewery + Bar. They serve a range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, plus food from Twisted Burger Co. See https://triplepointbrewing.co.uk/ for more details. One of our volunteers will show you the way.
