Come along to the National Library this Monday, 11 April, at 10am to share in what I learned attending the 31st annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference in San Diego.
Run by the California State University Northridge (CSUN) Center on Disabilities, the conference, referred to simply as “CSUN” within the accessibility community, is the leading international forum for researchers, practitioners, exhibitors, end users, speakers and others to share knowledge and best practices in the field of accessibility and assistive technology.
From 21 to 26 March, I had the great fortune to attend and speak at CSUN. On Monday, 11 April, I’ll give a short presentation on some of the things I learned, from ways to test the accessibility of mobile websites and apps, to converting PDFs to accessible HTML, what the French and Chinese governments are doing to make their websites accessible, how to procure accessible software, recent developments in addressing cognitive accessibility, Stevie Wonder, and more.
