Accessibility 2.0 Conference Hits Town
AbilityNet, the only UK charity that helps people adapt and adjust their information and communications technology (ICT) whatever their health condition or disability, is hosting a one-day conference at City University in London on 25 April 2008.
‘Accessibility 2.0’ will have speakers drawn from leading Web development companies and the RNIB aims to provide Web developers, Web managers and anyone interested in the technical aspect of accessibility with an in-depth understanding of accessibility issues and provide a host of practical solutions.
Robin Christopherson, Web Services Manager of AbilityNet, said: ‘We believe it’s time for the focus to come back onto Accessibility, and that a conference of this kind is what is needed to help developers make their Web 2.0 applications accessible.
‘It promises to be a highly practical day, where delegates come away knowing exactly what they need to do, and where they need to focus to make sure they consider accessibility in their products. With some of the biggest and best names in the industry we are very excited about what this event is going to bring to individuals and the industry as a whole.’
