"I know you can't read this chart, but..."; Best practices for creating accessible presentations

Have you ever attended a presentation where the text was a color that made it difficult or even painful to try to read? Maybe the presenter tried to fit as much text as possible in a slide, which was like taking off your glasses and reading an eye chart at the DMV. Then there is everyone's favorite; the graph with the tiny text labels that the author will always present with the caveat, "I know this is hard to read, but..." Even with the recent attention to accessibility best practices and the focus on making accessible digital resources, we still see many people not adhering to the most basic of principles. This session provides the essential details and techniques to create slide decks that are clear, digestible and engaging, ensuring your message reaches everyone in your audience.
