+One billion people worldwide have a disability and experts predict that this number will grow at an accelerated rate. What type of experience does this population have when trying to use an inaccessible website, either at work or while booking travel or shopping online? A frustrating one. At this live demonstration, get the user's perspective and see how screen reader assistive technology processes data that isn't accessible and learn:
+1. How to incorporate digital accessibility into each stage of design and development across all job functions (including Marketing, Purchasing, Recruitment, Designers, Content Authors, Developers, Acceptance Testing, and Quality Assurance).
+2. Why it's critical to consider accessibility from the outset to avoid costly "bolted on" fixes.

+I have sad news - staging is a lie and will never be identical to production, because production is unknowable. Trying to replicate it is often prohibitively expensive.
+
+But I also have good news - production can contain multitudes, including features you aren’t ready to turn on or activate yet. You can hide in the dark and do integration testing at the same time.
+
+It's simplistic to say that you should just kill the idea of a staging server and do everything in production. There are obviously problems with that - you need to do unit testing, you need to avoid things that will take down a service, you may need to do essential cutovers. But it's worth examining what benefit you're getting from staging and whether you could re-allocate that effort.
+
+Join me for an exploration of the ways that you might be able to kill staging and perform better.

+- What is the actual value of a staging environment?
+- What are some questions to ask about why we have staging?
+- How can I re-engineer releases to save costs?

+##### TALK ABSTRACT
+
+Some DevOps transformations flourish, but others are stalling. Why is that? This talk will make the case that Operations is the most predictable differentiator.
+<br><br>
+So much of the energy in DevOps has been about activities that start in Dev and move towards Ops — continuous delivery, deployment pipelines, automated testing, and of course, the unofficial mantra of “deploy, deploy, deploy. “However, post-deployment, too many DevOps transformations maintain the status quo and leave questionable Operations practices in place.
+<br><br>
+Now along comes a new vision for Operations called SRE (a.k.a. Site Reliability Engineering)… But SRE seems almost too good to be true!
+<br><br>
+SREs are cover much of what systems administrators used to do, but get to spend most of their time doing engineering work that adds enduring value to their company? How is it that SREs’ don’t get caught up in the interruptions, repetitive work, and drudgery that consumes so much of our time? And how do companies use SRE to do so much more with the same or less headcount?
+<br><br>
+This talk will take a close look at what SRE is, what SRE isn’t, and how SRE avoids the pitfalls that have plagued traditional Ops work. Finally, we’ll break down the principles behind the SRE movement and highlight how early examples are proving that DevOps + SRE = the end-to-end speed and quality promised since the early days of DevOps.
