Dear list members,
FYI - the 11th annual University of Guelph Accessibility Conference (in Ontario, Canada) is taking place on May 28th and 29th! The focus of the Conference is on web, document and multimedia accessibility, assistive technology, and accessible teaching and learning. It's one of the largest and longest-running of its kind in Ontario - last year, over 400 participants, speakers and exhibitors from across Canada and the United States attended one or both days.

See below for more Conference details.

The University of Guelph is relatively close to any residents of Michigan, New York State, or Pennsylvania - e.g., it's about a 3.5 hour drive from Detroit and 90 minutes from Buffalo.

Hope to see you there,
Athol Gow
