Your Vote Could Put Accessibility and Ethical Storytelling on the SQLBits 2026 Stage

Photo of Juliana Smith smiling warmly and giving a thumbs-up gesture. She wears glasses and a green shirt, with long dark hair framing her face. The background features a vibrant, cartoon-style SQLBits 2026 graphic with purple concentric circles and playful Looney Tunes-inspired characters. Bold orange and white text reads: “I’ve submitted to speak at… SQLBits 2026.” A caption at the bottom encourages viewers to vote for her sessions.
