Event Details

Name:	eAccess 12 conference
Description:	This year's event takes place in a Paralympics year, when disability rights take centre stage. Covering all aspects of access to the internet, smartphones, digital TV and all digital technologies by disabled people, the event is firmly established as the UK’s leading event on e-accessibility policy and strategy for organisations of all kinds and sizes. The event is co-hosted by Headstar with the UK’s newly formed network bringing together all sectors to call for true digital inclusion: the One Voice for Accessible ICT Coalition. Speakers this year include Ed Vaizey MP, Minister for Culture, Communications and the Creative Industries; Paul Edwards, Programme Manager – Paralympics 2012 Online, Channel4; and Jean Irvine OBE, Equality and Human Rights Commissioner. Topics to be covered include tips for inclusive websites; persuading the board that accessibility matters; and building accessible mobile apps. The conference will feature an exhibition area with demos from suppliers and a wide range of workshops and round table discussion sessions. It will also form the launchpad for a major new national awareness project about e-accessibility: Go ON Gold. Come along and be part of the change.
