Web Accessibility Primer on WCAG 2.0 and Including Users with Disabilities

with Judy Brewer, Shawn Henry and Julie Howell

19thJul '06

About the event

At our most popular event ever, we welcomed speakers from the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) and the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) , who introduced us to several new resources to help make your Web site accessible. Judy Brewer and Shawn Henry from the WAI talked about the upcoming WCAG 2.0 guidelines and the resources associated with it. Julie Howell from the Royal National Institute for the Blind (RNIB) gave us an overview of PAS 78, including the role of guidelines and users.

The evening was a roaring success and we would like to thank all speakers and those involved in the organisation. Some of the presentations are available below.
