To be great at usability...
To be great at mobile web...
To be great at cutting-edge innovation...
... Excel with Accessibility.

In this session you’ll learn how accessibility overlaps with usability, mobile web, and innovation. You’ll get practical guidance on taking your web design and development to the next level by including accessibility. Bottom line: Improve everyone’s user experience with your website, and reap the benefits for your organization and for you personally.

(By the way, you’ll also be able to say you’re working with a new ISO standard: ISO/IEC 40500:2012, which is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 from the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).)
