We’re excited to announce that Melanie Sumner has joined the speaker lineup for Accessibility Camp Chicago.

Melanie’s talk, “A Practical Guide to Common Accessibility Challenges for Developers” will talk us through the common patterns developers may be asked to implement, review the things to consider and walk through potential solutions.

Melanie is a military veteran who taught herself how to write code. She’s an accessibility advocate in the open source community as a member of the Ember.js core team, and co-organizes the Ember Chicago Meetup. You can find her mostly on Twitter or Instagram (melaniersumner), posting photos of her cats or all of the amazing foodie spots in Chicago!
