HeySummit accessibility statement

HeySummit's accessibility approach, current conformance status, known limitations, and feedback route.

Written by Benjamin Dell

HeySummit Ltd is committed to improving digital accessibility for people with disabilities and applying relevant accessibility standards.


Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) define three levels of conformance: A, AA, and AAA. HeySummit is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA, which means some parts of the platform do not fully conform to that standard.


Measures to support accessibility

  • We include accessibility in our mission.

  • We assign accessibility targets and responsibilities.

  • We continue to assess and improve the platform through self-evaluation.


Compatibility and technical requirements

HeySummit is designed for the latest three versions of Chrome on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Browsers more than three major versions old and mobile operating systems more than five years old are not supported for this compatibility statement. Accessibility relies on HTML, WAI-ARIA, CSS, and JavaScript working with your browser and any assistive technology or plugins you use.


Known limitations

  • Session videos: Videos supplied by event organisers may not include captions or audio descriptions. Contact the event organiser about a specific video.

  • Colour contrast, element descriptions, and tagging: Some legacy areas may not meet contrast or labelling requirements. Event hosts may be able to improve some colours, fonts, and legibility with Custom CSS.

  • Keyboard use: Some legacy areas may not behave as expected during keyboard navigation.

  • Carousel content: Some components may not provide full controls for changing content.

  • Forms: Some users may encounter difficulty interacting with or submitting certain forms.


Send accessibility feedback

If you encounter an accessibility barrier, contact HeySummit Support with the page URL, what you were trying to do, and the browser or assistive technology you were using. We aim to respond to accessibility feedback within five business days.
