London: What does PAS 78 mean for accessibility? (Friday 28 April)
Last month, the Disability Rights Commission and the British Standards Institute launched PAS-78: Guide to good practice in commissioning accessible web sites. The guide puts user-centred design at the heart of accessibility and will change the way site owners think about accessibility.
This is your chance to put questions to some of the people involved in writing and reviewing PAS 78 and debate how it will change the landscape. What are the practical implications of PAS 78? What will it mean for designers, developers and testers? How should usability professionals prepare?
Speakers:
- Julie Howell, RNIB
