Would you like to be involved in this years UMBRAAD event?

:loudspeaker: Calling all Umbraco and Web Accessibility pros! :loudspeaker:

We’ve got a challenge for you :backhand_index_pointing_down:

We’re in full swing organizing this year’s Umbraco Accessibility Awareness Day event (UMBRAAD)—happening in just 6 weeks on May 15th. Yep, it’s coming up fast, and sure, we’re cutting it close… but when has that ever stopped us? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

What’s UMBRAAD all about this year?

We’re shaping this one-day event around three key audiences:

:woman_technologist: Umbraco Developers
:writing_hand: Content Editors
:brain: Sales, Marketing & C-Suite professionals

Expect some crossover—accessibility touches everything.

Want to get involved? We’d love that. Here’s how:

:speaker_low_volume: 1. Submit a Talk
Got something to say about accessibility or Umbraco? We’re accepting:

:high_voltage: Lightning Talks (10 mins)
:speech_balloon: Standard Talks (25 mins)
:brain: Extended Talks (up to 50 mins)

We’re only accepting proposals for the next 2 weeks, so if you’ve got a talk in your back pocket—or feel inspired to create one—we’d love to hear from you.

Need inspiration? We’ve included some topic suggestions on the CFS page to get your ideas flowing.

:fire: 2. Join a Fireside Chat
We’re bringing together experts from across the Umbraco and accessibility communities for open, honest conversations. If you’d rather chat than present, this is your moment!

We’ll share questions and themes ahead of time so you’re not going in blind.

Let’s make UMBRAAD 2025 the most impactful yet :flexed_biceps:
