Accessibility and Usability
The new WCAG 2.0; and usability testing
Donna Smillie, Senior Web Accessibility Consultant, RNIB
Alex Li, Manager, Accessibility Standards and Policies, SAP Labs and Member, W3C Web Content Working Group

Public services must be available to all, including people with disabilities and those who find accessing information on the web hard for whatever reason. Accessibility standards for the web and testing websites against them have often been hard to understand. A new version of the global standard WCAG has been a long time in gestation, but is now on the horizon.
This session will look at the impact that this might make on accessibility and accessibility testing.

The panellists are one of the UK's leading foremost authorities on accessibility and accessibility testing - Donna Smillie of RNIB - and Alex Li, a member of the international working group tasked with drawing up the new WCAG 2.0 guidelines.
