I know there's not much chance of creating an accessible slide show, but does anyone have any suggestions of how to present multiple screens of information on a single page? My initial thought is to just display them in a grid.

The type of slideshow I am thinking of is a sort of fancy navigation where you have a link to a page on a graphic along with some copy and/or a call to action. Like a picture of people sitting by a swimming pool with text saying "Sign up for a season pool pass" and a "sign up" link to the season pass page.

You may want to check out slides.com <http://slides.com>; (there is also a free version of the underlying software). It is based on HTML and while I don't believe it has great accessibility out of the box, it may be easily feasible to enhance.

I'll have to check that out. This looks interesting, too: http://hanshillen.github.io/jqtest/#goto_carousel <http://hanshillen.github.io/jqtest/#goto_carousel>; Not sure if the hanshillen carousel supports multiple elements per slide or not.

I was looking at some hotel chain sites using VoiceOver. They were pretty problematic, especially carousels, so I started wondering how much they could retain the same look and feel while adding accessibility.

I have a script I was playing with that I can't find at the moment, but I did see this:
http://accessibility.athena-ict.com/aria/examples/carousel.shtml

I know the script I had, the images were all there in code as essentially an unordered list (with img alt tags)
The one I was using, didn't move automatically, I'll have to hunt it down.

Agreed, it sounds almost like what you wish is a wizard interface as part of a carousel.

Here is an example of something like this, though it uses forms as a wizard, though the concept could just as easily be used with images and keyboard accessible links.
