He leads a team building innovative and bespoke front-end websites for companies the world over, and specialises in CSS, accessibility and web performance. ## Bill and Ted’s accessibility adventure: Accessibility testing for developers As Bill and Ted discovered in their excellent adventure, it can be easier to learn through hijinks, trials and practice than through reading. How can we learn from their experience to get better at web accessibility? With the guidance of Bill and Ted we'll explore the ups and downs I went through teaching accessibility, and why focusing on testing works so well.

As an introvert, I used to think that being reserved meant I’d struggle to connect or stand out. In this talk, I’ll share my journey of learning how to navigate those moments, build genuine connections, and communicate with confidence without pretending to be someone I’m not.

In this talk, we’ll use the WebAudio API and the library Tone.js to explore the fundamentals of audio synthesis, building a drone synthesizer in the browser that creates a unique ambient soundscape based on a location’s current weather.

@tink.uk joins us in May for All Day Hey! 2026. In her talk "Do Androids Dream of Accessible Webs?" she'll explore the intersection of accessibility and AI.
An image of a terminal on a Mac, with an orange prompt reading "heypresents", running the command "cat leonie-watson.md | glow". This in turn renders the outputted Markdown file in the terminal, reading: Léonie Watson Léonie is co-Founder and Director of TetraLogical; Chair of the W3C Board of Directors, and co-Chair of the W3C Web Applications Working Group. Do Androids Dream of Accessible Webs? The web is shifting from something we use to something that acts on our behalf. Agentic AI promises systems that read, decide, negotiate, and optimise for us, but when algorithms become our representative, a deeper question arises: who is it actually representing? This talk explores where agents fracture first, and what that reveals about whether they are built to serve people, or merely optimise for statistical averages.

This talk throws caution to the wind and explores the wild side of View Transitions, cranking them up to 11. Prepare for unconventional use cases, unexpected results, and a healthy dose of experimentation as we venture beyond the spec.

I am SO excited to be speaking at All Day Hey next year!
And the final edition too, omg I'm honoured!

Be prepared for the most bizarre accessibility talk you've ever seen, described to me in feedback as:
"Incredibly weird and ridiculous, but very funny and I learned a lot!" 🎸

To pair with his talk about View Transitions at @heypresents.com in May, @bram.us appears to want me to find a biscuit that, "...expresses continuity, dynamism, with a suggestion of what is possible, and some hopefulness."

Umm...
Suggestions welcome.

I was a FOOL to think speakers at All Day Hey would not be opinionated about what biscuit is paired with their talk.

@bram.us is the latest one to set me straight.
