Hey #APAC friends, we're looking for a speaker for WordPress Accessibility Meetup on March 18th at 11 AM AEDT (17 March at 7 PM CDT). Would you be interested in presenting via Zoom to our group on a web #a11y topic? You can get IAAP continuing ed credits. DM me if you're available to present. #WPA11yMeetup #accessibility

I ran a report on our Zoom and discovered in the past year 1,778 unique people have attended at least one #WPA11yMeetup. 🤯

The meetup is almost 3 years old. We've grown from average attendance of 25 to 95 (137 day/43 evening). It's been so rewarding to grow the community. I cannot thank our speakers enough for volunteering to share their expertise with the group. I learn something from every presentation.

Want to join us or watch a recording? Link in comments.
