Building Accessible Enterprise Applications: A Developer’s Playbook

Description

Enterprise applications come with unique accessibility challenges: large, distributed teams, varied tech stacks, legacy code, shifting priorities, and constant pressure to ship faster. Developers are often caught in the middle—expected to deliver accessible experiences without slowing down, even when guidance, consistency, and support vary widely across the organization.

This session gives developers a clear, practical playbook for building accessible enterprise applications within real-world constraints. We’ll uncover the patterns that consistently lead to accessibility regressions, the hidden blockers inside enterprise environments, and the coding practices and team habits that make accessibility feel intuitive instead of disruptive. You’ll learn how to incorporate accessible patterns into the work you’re already doing, catch issues earlier, and avoid the break-fix loops that drain team velocity.
