There’s still time to register for NISO’s Virtual Conference on
Accessibility! Be sure to check out our program, featuring a lineup of
expert speakers on how to make information more accessible to all:



Accessibility <https://niso.org/events/accessibility>

Wednesday, March 29, 12:00–4:00 pm EDT (US and Canada)



It can be all too easy to forget that the final letter “A” in DEIA is for
accessibility. However, it is critical—and in many cases, a legal
requirement—to ensure that the information being created, curated, and
disseminated is accessible to all. This four-hour event will cover the
perspectives and expertise needed to ensure that products and services meet
required accessibility specifications. Whatever the product or interface,
coordinating efforts between users, developers, administrators, information
professionals, and other key stakeholders and service providers is
essential. What are the stumbling blocks, and what are some of the emerging
solutions—whether technological or standards-based? Attendees will come
away with a greater understanding of what’s needed and what’s possible.
