My first Accessibility meet-up for celebrating the 5th Birthday of Connect Forum!
Although this is my first Accessibility meet-up hosted by me but I have attended few meet-ups for accessibility work in different places. My first meet-up that I was attend in San Francisco and it was hosted by @EmekaUlor ; and the 2nd and 3rd meet-ups was in Mymensingh and Dhaka respectively, hosted by @Mohammadalauddin for the both. I have learned many things from them and other Local Guides doing accessibility work in different places in the world.
