SUMMARY:Portland Accessibility and User Experience Meetup (PDX A11Y UX) - Alt Text is the Ocean You Thought Was a Pond
DESCRIPTION:#### Topic\n\nWriting proper alt text is hard. But it doesn’t have to be. There’s a minimum standard and an advanced approach. People who need alt text will appreciate you for the former and love you for the latter. Alt text is also a whole lot more than the `alt` attribute. That’s just one of the many ways to make content accessible. In fact\, there are a number of considerations for writing great alt text.\n\nIn this presentation\, Mark Wyner will help you understand the spectrum of options so you can take good care of your audience. We’ll walk through implementation methods\, phonetics\, composition\, complex sources\, and tackling social media.\n\nLet’s give screen readers and other assistive technologies something to *talk* about.\n\n#### Agenda\n\nThe event begins at 6 pm; join early\, starting at 5:45 pm for networking.\n\n* 5:45 Networking\n* 6:00 Introductions and announcements\n* 6:15 Presentation\n* 6:45 Q&A and discussion\n\n#### About the presenter\n\n(https://markwyner.com/) is an autodidactic polymath with over two decades of experience in design and development.

Currently\, as the Lead Product Designer at BookNook. His pronouns are he/him/his.
