Brecht De Ruyte - The future of UI is "open"
When dealing with more advanced UI elements there are a lot of things that go wrong. They impact performance, accessibility and have the tendency to create frustrations along the way.
In this talk, I will be introducing you to the W3C community around Open UI, while also taking a little detour with the Anchoring API. By combining these future specs we’ll take a peek at the future of styling custom UI by only using HTML and CSS, giving you less frustration, performance boosts and basic accessibility out of the box.

Tim Dujardin - Why semantics matter
Are you developing forms without labels? Is the < div > element your go-to element to provide 'structure' in your website or web application? Do you make use of < a href="#" > to create actionable elements?
In this talk, I will guide you through accessible design, development and testing by exposing common misconceptions and how to handle them correctly in the future. The goal is to create awareness on how impactful our design and development decisions can be on the target audience.
