Thank you all for another great AccessU!
John Slatin AccessU 2019 is a wrap! We made new friends, reconnected with old friends, and learned a whole lot more about ways to make the online world a more accessible place. Highlights from AccessU included:
- Three days with seven tracks of hands-on digital accessibility training.
- Pre-conference, deep-dive workshops.
- IAAP certification exams.
- Accessibility hack day for Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) Web Docs.
- W3C Web Accessibility Initiative meetings.
- Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) keynote and celebration with Joe Devon, GAAD founder.
- Keynote address and evening networking with the incomparable Haben Girma.
- and so much more!
We hope to see you all again—or for the first time—next year!
