Town Hall with Shawn Lauriat from Google

Our next #a11ychat will take place on May 20th from 4-5pm EDT (note the time change!), and will feature a very special guest: Shawn Lauriat, a software engineer at Google since 2011, focusing on accessibility of Google Docs.

Shawn will be answering questions during the #a11ychat and talking about accessibility and Google Docs. The Deque team, including Glenda Sims, Paul Adam, Denis Boudreau, Paul Bohman, and Todd Liebsch, will be participating as well and bringing their many questions and opinions about Google Doc to the discussion. Now’s your chance to bring your own burning questions and astute observations regarding Google Docs and accessibility straight to a Google employee!

Join us on on May 20th at our new time – from 4-5pm EDT! If you’re new to #a11ychat or Twitter, check out our #a11ychat How-To Guide.
