Final day of the conference is always bittersweet. We've learned so much, met great people, and had a wonderful time in the process. Today, I'm speaking about vendor a11y conversations after the April ADA deadline. #ERL26

A timely topic for many of us, I think: "No time to overthink it: how a small e-resources team approached a rapid assessment project after a 22% budget cut" by Becca Banach and Gail Murray. How are others handling budget cuts (potential ones or already occurring) right now? #ERL26
