A fantastic way to learn more about accessibility

I really enjoy hearing Amber, Chris, and Steve talk about the different aspects of accessibility from the perspective of best practices for users, but also from the viewpoint of developer implementation, but also as business owners dealing with client needs and expectations. I appreciate that even among experts they don’t necessarily have a single point of view or a single answer.
