Hello Slack Enthusiasts,

As we like to say here at Slack, a pleasant Slack experience for everyone is a “need to have,” not a “nice to have.”

Meet Chanan, Catherine, and Chris from Slack's accessibility team as they answer your questions on how Slack builds an inclusive and accessible product for everyone. From supporting screen readers and keyboard navigation to maintaining color contrast and reducing cognitive load, Slack is committed to creating experiences that are usable, delightful, and empowering for everyone. Chanan, Catherine, and Chris can't wait to meet you; they're delighted to answer your questions! 

How it will work

  • This event takes place entirely in the Slack Community workspace, and does not have a virtual video component.

  • Join the Community workspace (check your registration email for access).

  • Once you're in the workspace, visit the #slack-ama channel and complete the 'Submit an AMA question' workflow (this workflow will open 24hrs before start time)

  • Your question will be reviewed and then if approved, posted into #slack-ama during the AMA hour.

  • The team will answer the question in the thread. You can reply in-thread, too!
