Web Accessibility For All (Dec 11, 2012)

Organized by Internet Society Hong Kong, and Information Technology Resource of HKCSS, we proudly present our first “Web Accessibility For All” event in Hong Kong.

Internet has become a primary way of communicating, distributing information and providing services to the public. Internet is for everyone which includes web accessibility for all people. The goal of this event is to make a positive impact in our local community to enhance technology professionals with knowledge and skills to incorporate web accessibility in their web technologies. This will make a great impact to delivery web content to a wider audience and is an aspect of social responsibility.

Representatives from different NGOs, including Hong Kong Blind Union, Hong Kong Association of the Deaf, Association for Engineering and Medical Volunteer Services (Physical Disability), CyberSenior, will share their concern and experience on web accessibility and how to make the web accessible for those under-privileged groups.

Target audience: general public, IT professionals in commercial companies and NGOs
