I am planning my continuing education plans for next year and would like
to poll the list. If you were able to attend one conference that
addresses accessibility, what conference would you choose?
Thank you,

IDEA's was a bust as far as I am concerned.
I've persuaded Michael Smith who runs the CFUN - ColdFusion users Networking
conference to run a track on web accessibility this year at his conference.
This is a preliminary to possibly running an entire conference on web based
accessibility. So far its 5 topics including:
CSS for Better Sites.
How CSS2 and Accessibility Go Hand in Hand
Section 508 vs the Web Content Accessibility Guildlines: Which is More
Accessible?
HTML Markup for Accessibility You Never Knew About
Creating Accessible Web Forms
Of course I am one of the speakers, so I am a bit biased.

Hi Cheryl,
CSUN, International Conference on Technology and Persons with Disabilities,
http://www.csun.edu/cod. Absolutely! When I was with IBM, I went to several
conferences a year, including CSUN. Now on my own, there is exactly I make
sure I attend - CSUN.

I'd have to echo Jim in saying that CSUN is the one for me. A good
majority of the conference participants are people with disabilities
and it always reminds me of why accessibility is so important. The
AACE conference are also excellent for educators.

CSUN is definitely the biggest and best conference in the US but if you are anywhere near Australia, OzeWAI is an excelent conference. A couple of us from WebAIM attended OzeWAI a few weeks ago and it was well worth the trip. It may have been the most useful conference of anykind that I have attended.

In Australia we have OzeWAI that is held approximately the same time each
year.
Here is a link that provides further links and details of the past five
conferences:
