Thanks to everyone who came out for our Lightning Talks meetup on October 19, 2023 at Grand Circus.
Great conversations, tips, demos, and networking. And thanks to co-organizer Nick DeNardis for bringing the pizza and salad!
Our speakers gave amazing talks, which had attendees:
- Quickly noting books to add to our wish list
- Considering how to set up usability tests on the refrigerator
- Thinking how color contrast affects everyone
- In awe of transforming a business card into something that came to life in front of us
Shoutout to our speakers for their talks and for posting their slides so quickly!

Color contrast affects EVERYONE, not just people with low vision. Ever try using your phone outside on a sunny day? @redcrew #RefreshDetroit
