We are just over two weeks from this year's Global Accessibility
Awareness Day (GAAD) on May 15.

So far, public events marking GAAD have been announced for:
Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney Australia;
Brussels and Mons Belgium;
Montreal Canada;
Brno Czech Republic;
Tokyo Japan;
Lugano Switzerland; and
Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles, and San Francisco in the USA.
To learn more and to register to attend these events, and to learn
about a virtual event on social media accessibility organized by Danya
International see
http://www.globalaccessibilityawarenessday.org/events.html.

If you live in or near London UK, the User Experience Professionals'
Association (UK) is looking for speakers, demos and posters for a GAAD
event there.

Companies, government agencies and schools will be marking GAAD. See a
sampling at http://www.globalaccessibilityawarenessday.org/activities.html

It's definitely not too late to get involved. Why not hold an
Accessibility Clinic in your community http://bit.ly/QzWpbC

If you are planning an event or need ideas, e-mail Joe Devon and
myself at <EMAIL REMOVED> .

There's definitely More to come.
