WEB ACCESSIBILITY Date: Tuesday, August 19th Time: 6pm (presentation begins at 6:30) to 8:30pm Location: 500 W. Madison, 12th floor conference room, Chicago, IL 60661 Host: AQUENT / Judi Wunderlich [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the Chicago Interactive Design/Development Meetup Group Presenter: Tanagram Partners (www.tanagrampartners.com)
What is web accessibility? Why does it matter? How can we prioritize accessibility in our work? The impact of vision and auditory impairments, whether at birth or through the natural progression of aging, affects a person¹s ability to interact with digital systems. Businesses and human rights advocates are becoming aware of these issues and require systems and design that address the need for accessibility. This presentation will provide an overview of the current state of web accessibility and why we need to improve compliance beyond current accessibility guidelines. We will showcase best practices and methods to improve compliance and most importantly, usability.
