Whether you consider him a lumberjack, or the Training Director at The Paciello Group, Billy Gregory certainly has an unique way to make a point.

Hailing from Toronto, Canada, Billy Gregory is the Director of Training with The Paciello Group. Before joining TPG, and after failing to realize his dream of becoming a rock star, Billy focused his attention on front-end development working at small agencies, and at large corporations. It was during this time that he discovered his true love of the internet, and his wish that everyone be able to use it.

In his spare time, Billy is active in the Accessibility Community as Co-Organizer of “#a11yTO” which organizes Accessibility Camp Toronto, its monthly meet-up group, and #a11yTO Conf. He was also one half of the popular duo “The Viking and The Lumberjack. He is still not a rock star.

Billy Gregory will present “#SUX: Some User Experience.” In this fun and informative talk, Billy Gregory will examine design trends and accepted best practices that fail to incorporate the needs to all users. When designs only cater to a particular user set, they are shortsighted and not inclusive. In our race to be“sexy” and “modern” we forgot to be usable. For many users, this #SUX.
