UK Usability Professionals Association - Talk on accessibility
Next Tuesday (June 17th) I’ll be speaking with Peter Bosher at the UKUPA monthly get-together on the topic of accessibility. Peter Bosher worked with the Web Accessibility Initiative of W3C in the early days of the web, and was Chairman of the British Computer Association of the Blind from 1999-2002. He will discuss some of the myths and reality around usability and accessibility, from the perspective of a real user with plenty of time for questions and discussion, to make sure that we cover issues that are of immediate concern to you.
As for me, I’ll be focusing on my experiences of web accessibility in the corporate environment - the challenges that this presents, the rewards of getting it right … and pretty much anything else related to accessibility that crops up in the time allowed. After that, it’s all off to the public house to quaff some ale.
Visit the events page of the UKUPA for more information about cost, location and other such details. Maybe I’ll see you there?
