Adding the W3C's New ARRM to Improve Your Project's Accessibility

Explore the W3C's newly released Accessibility Roles and Responsibilities Mapping (ARRM) framework in this 36-minute conference talk that demonstrates how open source teams can better define and distribute accessibility responsibilities across different roles. Learn how ARRM serves as a practical tool for maintainers, designers, developers, content contributors, and community leaders to collaborate more effectively on accessibility goals. Discover strategies for embedding accessibility into workflows and culture without overwhelming a single "accessibility lead," whether you're managing a solo project or coordinating a large contributor base. Understand how implementing ARRM can transform your project from conducting one-time accessibility audits to establishing continuous improvement processes, reinforcing that accessibility is a shared responsibility rather than merely a technical checklist to complete.
