WP Accessibility Day is taking place this week, from October 9th to 10th, and Gravity Forms is proud to be sponsoring the event!

The online event runs over 24 hours and covers everything accessibility-related with a focus on WordPress.

As WP Accessibility Day runs around the clock for 24 hours, no matter which time zone you’re in, you should be able to check out some of the talks live. They’ll be recorded, too, so you can catch any of the sessions you missed.

And to celebrate WP Accessibility Day, we’re giving away a 12-month Gravity Forms Elite License to one lucky winner. Just sign up for the event, then enter the giveaway for a chance to win.
