Subject: Regular Accessibility Meetups
No previous message | Next message →

I wanted to draw attention to four more regular gatherings on digital
accessibility that will be launching, or that recently kicked-off in
2015.

Vancouver (BC) Accessibility and Inclusive Design launches April 22
http://www.meetup.com/a11yyvr and
Portland (OR) Accessibility and User Experience launches April 29
http://www.meetup.com/Portland-Accessibility-and-User-Experience-Meetup.

Ottawa launched their Meetup in March http://www.meetup.com/a11yOttawa.

Finally, In February, the Chicago Web Accessibility and Inclusive
Design Meetup took flight http://www.meetup.com/a11ychi.

A list of other gatherings can be found in my note below.

And, there is a fledgling one in Salt Lake City: http://www.meetup.com/a11yslc/

I've had to put it on the back burner for the past few months, but hoping to get things going again soon, so if you are in the SLC area, please consider getting involved.
