The program will focus on the accessibility and usability of websites and web-based products and services. Given the fine line between accessibility and usability in today's realm of information technology, these words are often intertwined. Speakers will address things to consider when exploring, designing, developing, implementing, and evaluating websites and web-based technologies in order to reach all users. Special emphasis will be placed on users with special needs and disabilities.
