On April 4, 2014 the 1st annual Access for All, Accessible Technology Symposium took place in King Library. This event was designed to build awareness, remove barriers and discuss current issues/trends in technology for people with disabilities.
Many experts in the fields of accessible technology were on-hand to provide first-hand guidance to the approximately 75 people in attendance on a variety of of topics of interest including creating accessible PDF’s, captioning, universal design, building accessible content for the classroom, e-books, etc. The Accessible Technology Symposium was covered in a recent Journal News article as well.
Special thanks and kudos in IT Services go out to:
- JP Natale and Joe Bazeley for providing financial and moral support
- Sean Poley for leading the event from start-to-finish
- Kristin Kieffer for assisting with marketing and promotion
- Betsy Kreger for helping to coordinate the logistics
In 2015 the symposium will be moved to the Shriver Center to better accommodate a larger audience. Mark your calendars for April 17, 2015 and visit the Access for All website soon to view photos and videos from the event this year.
