  • Does your organization believe its web site should be accessible to ALL people?

  • Is your company ready to comply with the pending expansion of the Americans with Disabilities Act that will ensure people with disabilities have full access to the Internet and television?

  • Are you a developer or designer who wants to understand emerging best design practices for the web? Are you a web developer, web designer, IT manager, IT policy developer, IT administrator or  programmer that wants to be even more attractive to potential employers?

  • Do you want to build innovative AND accessible websites using cutting-edge CSS techniques?

  • Do you want to learn how accessibility ties into your usability goals?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, you need to consider attending AccessU West - a web accessibility institute (previously CalWAC) January 10-12, 2011 in San Jose, California.

AccessU West offers classes on how to make electronic information technology accessible to everyone – including people with disabilities. This event is for Web developers, web designers, IT Managers, IT policy developers, IT administrators, programmers, anyone with IT responsibilities, or IT students.

This is a tremendous professional development opportunity for individuals, as well as a way for companies to demonstrate their commitment to usability and accessibility to customers! This is an excellent opportunity to show that you understand how to bridge an important aspect of the digital divide!

Attendees will engage with world renowned accessibility experts to improve your design skills and to understand the both the need and the techniques for inclusive IT design. From the basics to the bleeding edge, AccessU will provide the resources you need.

You can choose one, two or three days of workshops. A Usability Track is available as well, as is a group discount for six or more people).

This event is being organized by Knowbility.org, a nonprofit I've long been associated with and feel quite passionate about -- they are doing great work, and AccessU West is but one example of that great work.

Complete information:

PLEASE REBLOG THIS INFORMATION TO YOUR OWN NETWORKS! I'm determined to sell this event out! And once it's full, it is FULL! Please don’t delay in signing up!

How can you be so sure about Jayne Blog on nonprofits/ngos, communications, community ... ? Although most of the information provided is true as per my knowledge but I don't agree fully. I think it should be more practical. I visited your website while searching for vancouver colleges and universities and hope to see more good information on vancouver colleges and universities. Do keep up the good work.
