Conference Overview

Web Design that Works for Everyone will bring together the two worlds of digital design and accessible technology. The conference will deliver useful information about practice, policy, and tools and serve as a catalyst for innovative collaborations. It begins with the premise that user diversity is the reality of an ever-expanding audience. By embracing the practical and valued role of information facilitator the designer can open new worlds for people previously excluded from the opportunities inherent in the world wide web: people with physical, sensory, and cognitive disabilities, older people, people with limited literacy, and people across the globe using all types of devices.

New accessibility tools and standards make it easy to design information that's accessible and attractive. But there has been little cross-fertilization between digital design and accessibility. If the promise of accessible digital media is to be realized, it needs great designers/architects/strategists/planners of information, who can create appeal, flow and clarity that enhance everyone's experience.

Join us in generating the creative imagination to shape a truly inclusive vision for digital design.
