And all talks will be captioned and slide text will be made accessible too!

What I’ll be speaking about

Here’s the blurb:

Responsive design turned 10 years old last year. Since then browser capabilities have changed a lot, and they’re set to change even more. We’ll explore new and upcoming media queries that will let website authors make websites that respond not just to screen sizes, but to many different user preferences and situations. Learn how to implement these in forward compatible ways with practical tips and examples.

If you’ve been following along, that’s basically all the information that lives in my head exported in presentation format. Expect a good look into the future of media queries as well as practical tips.

So many interesting talks

There are some fantastic topics that are being covered. Ahmad Shadeed will speak about CSS comparison functions, Rhiana Heath about Typed CSS, Anton Ball about aspect-ratio and many, many more. Each presentation looks to be fantastic. Here’s the Full two-day schedule.
