As data becomes more complex, ensuring that visualizations are usable by everyone, including those with disabilities, is more important than ever. This session will cover the basics of accessible data visualization through real world examples by embedding core accessibility principles and feedback from users with disabilities.

Participants will dive into improving accessibility for commonly used charts, including waterfall, bubble, map, and treemap charts. The session will highlight key strategies, such as ensuring proper color contrast, using hover tooltips to prevent clutter, and applying categorical filtering to simplify complex datasets.

The session will also address real-world challenges, like handling small, hard-to-label data points and offering alternative views such as exportable tables. Attendees will walk away with actionable insights that directly improve both accessibility and user experience in their product designs. This session is a must for designers looking to create inclusive data visualizations.
