Hello:
I followed to the site for registration for the webinar.
But I could not locate the registration input location.
I did place a call to the number listed for inquiry for the webinar.
I use the screen reader JAWS.
Regards,
Daniel

Looks like the registration form doesn't use explicit labels for the edit fields and the Register Now element is an image link with no alt text or link text.

Upon further inspection and testing, they did use explicit labels but only for three of the five edit fields. I use the Contact form on the site to report the accessibility issues.

*Wednesday, March 9th, 2pm-3pm ET*
On February 18th, the FCC released a 2016 order to clarify who is
responsible for complying with closed captioning requirements. The
commission unanimously agreed on their decision, which divides
responsibility between video programming distributors (VPDs) and video
programmers. There are significant changes that all VPDs and video
programmers should pay attention to.
In this webinar, *Eliot Greenwald, the Deputy Chief of the Disability
Rights Office at the FCC*, will go over closed captioning requirements and
responsibilities. He will cover the FCC's 2014 order for closed captioning
quality, the FCC's recent 2016 order that allocates responsibility for
captioning, and best practices for captioning according to the FCC.
Eliot's presentation will cover:
- The FCC's requirements for closed captioning
- The FCC's captioning quality standards
- Overview of the FCC's recent 2016 order
- Responsibilities for ensuring captioning compliance for VPDs
- Responsibilities for ensuring captioning compliance for video
programmers
- FCC best practices for captioning
- Use of Electronic Newsroom Technique
- Revisions to the FCC's captioning complaint procedure
