*Accessing Higher Ground*

WebAIM will be presenting at this year's Accessing Higher Ground
conference. The 13th Annual Accessing Higher Ground: Accessible Media,
Web and Technology Conference will take place November 15-19, 2010 in
Westminster, CO and focuses on the implementation and benefits of
universal design, accessible media, and assistive technology in the
university, business and public setting. This is a wonderful
conference for anyone interested in web accessibility. More details at
http://www.colorado.edu/ATconference/

WebAIM is presenting two half-day pre-conference workshops - one on
Building Accessible Web Applications with ARIA and one on Building an
Accessible HTML5 Web Page. The sessions run back-to-back on Tuesday,
November 16th. Registration for the full day is only $175. We're also
coordinating a general session exploring the effectiveness of current
web accessibility efforts.

*WebAIM Web Accessibility Training*

WebAIM still has seats available for a two-day web accessibility
training to be held next week at our offices in Logan, Utah. More
details at http://webaim.org/training/

*Accessibility Summit*

I have the privilege of presenting at the Accessibility Summit -
http://environmentsforhumans.com/2010/accessibility-summit/ - coming
up on September 30th. This full-day, online conference has an amazing
line-up of speakers. I'll be presenting on web accessibility and
compatibility with assistive technologies... and other fun stuff. Use
the discount code "A11Y_JARED10" for 10% of the registration fee.

*Southwest Technology Showcase*

If you're involved in technology services on a campus, you may be
interested in the Southwest Technology Showcase -
http://nln.nevada.edu/STS/ - to be held Nov. 4-5 in Henderson, Nevada.
I will be providing the opening keynote address about motivations for
web accessibility.


We hope to see you at one of these or the other events WebAIM will be
participating in.
