Scaling Accessibility with Design Systems

This event will be online on [YouTube](https://youtu.be/_4k16DgOUMA) and in-person (New York City). **The speaker and live stream starts at 7:30 pm ET**. In-person attendees may arrive as early as 7 pm ET. If arriving late, please leave a comment on this page and someone will come down ASAP. **Description** Twenty million New Yorkers. Forty-five agencies. Tens of thousands of web pages, forms, and applications. What does it take to scale accessibility across an entire state? Jesse Gardner leads the Design System and Accessibility teams for the State of New York. He'll share what his teams have learned about scaling accessibility: resources and education to grow team maturity over time, manual accessibility reviews as a service, and a shared design infrastructure with built-in accessibility. He'll spend most of the talk on the design system. It's already helping teams scale accessible design, and it's increasingly serving as a foundation for accessibility in AI-assisted code-generation. This talk is for the full A11yNYC community: engineers, designers, advocates, content strategists, lawyers, librarians, researchers, and anyone who wants to understand where accessibility is headed in the next few years. Topics include: * Why a design system is one of the highest-leverage accessibility investments any organization can make * A live, plain-language demonstration of how AI tools interact with this kind of shared guidance (you don't need knowledge to follow along) * Why AI tools often produce inaccessible work, and what it looks like when you give them clear instructions and accessible building blocks * Honest lessons from coordinating accessibility work across the state * Practical advice for any accessibility program, no matter the size or budget Attendees will gain: * A real-world perspective from large-scale government services * Practical examples for scaling accessibility beyond "just work harder" * Guidance for harnessing AI to ensure accessible output **Presenter bio** [Jesse Gardner](https://www.linkedin.com/in/plasticmind/) is Director of Accessibility and Design Systems at the New York State Office of Information Technology Services, where he leads two teams serving more than 45 state agencies and 20 million New Yorkers. He built the New York State Design System from scratch and led the state's response to the DOJ Title II accessibility compliance deadline (recently extended to April 2027). Before joining the public sector, Jesse spent more than two decades in software engineering and design leadership. He speaks regularly on the intersection of design systems, accessibility, and AI (most recently at Into Design Systems 2026) and writes at plasticmind.com. He lives in upstate New York with his wife and four kids. **Accessibility** The presentation will have human captions [CC], not automatic captions. For ASL preferred speakers, learn about the [Aira ASL App](https://aira.io/aira-asl-app/), and download it before the event. For the Blind and Low Vision community, learn about the [Aira Explorer App](https://aira.io/aira-explorer-app/) and download it before the event. To access the online webinar for audio description, use the A11yNYC Access Offer to call, or simply inform your Visual Interpreter that you'd like that offer applied when you connect. For additional accessibility requirements, please email meryl@equalentry.com **two weeks** **before** the event. **Livestream** [YouTube link](https://youtu.be/_4k16DgOUMA) Provided by Internet Society Accessibility SIG. **Location details** The event is on the 4th floor. Everyone must be accompanied to the event on the 4th floor. Because everyone needs to be escorted, please arrive early or on time. When you enter the ground floor, a representative from A11yNYC will be there to provide elevator access.

Intuitive Introverts: The Power of the Inner World

**PROCEDURAL CHANGE:** Before noon on the day of this event, contact Conversations New York’s Meetup profile for the venue address. **Host:** Mike-INFJ, Yen-xxTx, Margarita-INFP, & volunteers Reconnect with old friends & meet new ones. Invite a curious mind. :) *** ## 🧭 Event Focus **Theme** A reflective MBTI discussion for INFJs, INFPs, and other intuitive introverts exploring solitude, depth, overstimulation, inner life, and the pressure to perform extroversion. **Core idea** Modern culture often rewards people who are bold, social, fast-talking, and comfortable being seen. Your Quiet notes frame this as the Extrovert Ideal, where the “ideal self” is often seen as gregarious, alpha, and comfortable in the spotlight. But introversion is not weakness. It is not the same as shyness. Introversion is a preference for environments that are less overstimulating, while shyness is the fear of social disapproval or humiliation. *** ## ⚖️ Policy Reminder “This meetup group’s websites and events are not intended for the purpose of dating, selling goods or services, organizing political activities, or any unlawful actions. Our goal is to avoid conflicts of interest as we bring people together to learn, grow, and share wisdom. Each participant is responsible for maintaining an environment conducive to conversation and friendship at meetups.” *** ## 💡 What to Expect * Intuitive Introverts: The Power of the Inner World Many introverts are not antisocial. They are reflective, selective, observant, and often most alive in spaces where depth is welcomed. * This meetup is for INFJs, INFPs, and other intuitive introverts who want to explore what it means to live in a culture that often rewards boldness, visibility, fast speech, and constant social energy. We’ll reflect on solitude, overstimulation, deep conversation, inner life, and the difference between being shy and being introverted. The first half will include quiet writing, short one-minute shares, and guided discussion. The second half will move into smaller casual groups so people can connect more naturally. Come as you are. You do not need to be loud to belong here. *** # \# 🌿 EVENT ITINERARY \*\*Intuitive Introverts: The Quiet Power Within\*\* \-\-\- \#\# 🪞 Part 1: Quiet Reflection \*\*3:10–3:25 PM\*\* \* 10–15 minutes of silent writing \* Choose 2–3 prompts from the sheet \*\*Focus:\*\* Internal processing before speaking \-\-\- \#\# 🗣️ Part 2: One\-Minute Shares \*\*3:25–3:55 PM\*\* Each person shares (max 1 minute): \*\*Suggested format:\*\* \* “The prompt I chose was…” \* “What came up for me was…” \* “One thing I’m realizing is…” \*\*Note:\*\* Keep this structured and light. Short shares prevent emotional overload. \-\-\- \#\# 💬 Part 3: Light Group Discussion \*\*3:55–4:05 PM\*\* Ask 1–2 questions to the full group: \* What patterns did you notice? \* What do intuitive introverts need to feel safe and engaged? \* What’s the difference between solitude and disconnection? \-\-\- \#\# 👥 Part 4: Small Group Conversations \*\*4:05–4:45 PM\*\* Break into groups of 3–5 \#\#\# Round 1 \(4:05–4:25\) \*\*Prompt:\*\* What social environments make you feel most like yourself? \*\*Follow-ups:\*\* \* One-on-one, small group, or structured setting? \* What drains you fastest? \* What helps you open up? \-\-\- \#\#\# Round 2 \(4:25–4:45\) \*\*Prompt:\*\* How do you protect your inner world without isolating yourself? \*\*Follow-ups:\*\* \* What does healthy solitude look like? \* What does unhealthy withdrawal look like? \* How do you know when you need people again? \-\-\- \#\# 🔚 Part 5: Closing Reflection \*\*4:45–5:00 PM\*\* \*\*Prompt:\*\* What is one thing you want to honor more about your introverted nature? Optional: One word or one sentence per person \*\*Closing Thought:\*\* Introversion is not something to fix. It’s something to understand, protect, and mature. The goal is not to disappear from the world, but to engage with it without betraying your nature. \-\-\-

Love Is Blind Speed Dating Event - As Seen On Netflix!

Get tickets at: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/673108474567](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/673108474567) NYC Speed Dating - Singles 20s & 30s --- LADIES TICKET COMES WITH A FREE DRINK! Come experience this new & unique twist on speed dating! You've heard of the TV show "Love Is Blind" and now you'll get a chance to experience it in person! Here is how it will works: Ladies will first have female friend connect time, playing complimentary pool and/or ping pong (or just hanging out and chatting) while sipping complimentary cocktails in a private area separated from the gentleman. Gentleman will have new friends connect time in a private area as well! Speed dating will then begin! The men will be blind folded the entire speed dating, while the ladies will rotate for each round. For ladies and men, there will be special optional questions to ask to heighten the experience but it is not mandatory! We carefully set up the process so that neither the men nor women will be able to see each other will have to make selections based on personality! ***"I wasn’t sure what to expect, but not seeing the person first really helped me focus on what matters—our connection. It was refreshing!"*** ***— Alex R., Event Attendee*** THIS IS A MULTI-MEETUP GROUP EVENT. 15 OTHER GROUPS HAVE ALSO BEEN INVITED SO WE'LL BE SURE TO HAVE A GOOD SIZE TURNOUT. THE RSVP LIST ON MEETUP REFLECTS ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF ATTENDEES. *WHY IT WORKS:* ***\*\* 82%*** *of participants in a study on blind dating said they felt more "genuine" and "authentic" when they couldn't judge their partner's appearance (Source: Psychology Today).* *\*\* Studies have shown that people who initially meet without seeing each other are **more likely to find deeper emotional connections** and establish **long-lasting relationships** (Source: Journal of Social and Personal Relationships).* *\*\* A report from The University of California, Berkeley, found that **satisfaction in relationships tends to be more stable when based on personality compatibility** rather than initlal appearance.* After the speed dating, the genders will be separated once more while the matches are selected and then handed in! There will be a complimentary after party in which everyone can mix and mingle over complimentary pool, ping pong, giant jenga and other cool games, For every drink purchased, your next will be half off the entire evening! Your matches will be emailed to you the morning with the option to leave your contact number in addition to email. ***\*\* YOU CAN SEE MORE NYC SPEED DATING EVENTS AT: [http://www.FriendzyEvents.com](http://www.FriendzyEvents.com) \*\**** *QUICK NOTE: You won't be able to sign up at the event.

Women stay seated and the men rotate from table to table until they meet each woman. You will get a match card and at the end of each mini-date you'll indicate whether or not you'd like to see the person again. At the end of the evening you will hand your match card in to the event host. If you both select each other, we will send you each others' email address the next day so you can set up a future date! Within less than 12 hours of the event, you'll receive an email with the first name and email of your mutual matches. We do not give out names or contact info unless there is a mutual match. Our Speed Dating events tend to attract quality, single professionals who are done with the dating games and ready to meet that special someone. Most people know within a few minutes if they would like to see someone again. FAQ: CAN I COME ALONE? Yes, about 85% come on their own. WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?
