Let me also make sure that folks are aware of the "Developing with
Accessibility" event on September 6 - 7 (Thursday - Friday) at the
Federal Communications Commission in DC. It is a free event with
developer trainings on creating accessible mobile apps, web sites,
webinars, and ebooks. There will also be dedicated rooms for work on
coding projects with others. a web site, email list, and IRC channel
exist for collaboration among developers before, during, and after the
event.

More information is at

As part of the organizing team behind the event, I can also help to
answer questions about it.

In past years, we have handled the Boston Accessibility Conference as an "un-conference," like Bar Camp events, where attendees volunteer to speak and the schedule is determined on the day of the event. Some people found this concept unsettling, so this year we are scheduling some speaking/presenting slots in advance. If you would like to take advantage of this, see our "Call for Speakers" page at http://a11ybos.org/call_for_speakers
