Thank you for participating in WordPress Accessibility Day 2025 and being part of the community making the web more accessible to everyone.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was our 5th WordPress Accessibility Day, and every year I learn something new. The organizing team was in constant communication, making the event happen behind the scenes, and in a moment of reflection, we noted how amazing it is to be able to run a conference with 28 speakers from around the world, all sharing expertise around accessibility. In the first years of this event, it was difficult to find 24 unique talks from people who were not the \u201csame\u201d people you saw speaking about accessibility everywhere. It was challenging to find enough volunteers to staff a 24-hour event, as well as sponsors to cover the costs of running it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This has changed significantly thanks to all of you! This year, we had 2,297 attendees from 64 countries<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event wouldn’t be possible without our amazing team of organizers and volunteers, and the generous support of our sponsors. And of course it wouldn\u2019t be an event at all without all of you who show up to watch sessions, engage in the chat, and encourage others to attend on your social media – sometimes very late into the night or early in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay Connected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are ways to stay connected, keep learning, and contribute to WordPress accessibility until our next event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch Session Recordings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All sessions were recorded. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors and donors, we were able to upgrade to Zoom Events this year. One of the most significant benefits of this upgrade is that you can access instant replays for any session right now! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Zoom lobby will stay open through October 31st, and you can log in to watch videos at your convenience until then. Note that the Zoom video archive includes captions and a transcript, but does not include the sign language interpretation. ASL will be included in the final videos published on our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll be working on those final edits over the next few weeks. Once complete, you\u2019ll be able to find full videos with captions, transcripts, and ASL on the event website. Stay subscribed to our email list<\/a> to get notified when these videos are available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
