If you know me, I love a bit of critical tech talk, and I adore a good podcast. I've been enjoying a deep dive into the @fortechssakepod.bsky.social podcast since @cesi-ie.bsky.social invited @elaineburke.bsky.social to be our 2026 #CESIcon keynote speaker.

Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7
