Accessibility Camp May 20-21

RantWoman is shamelessly cribbing from the actual website for Accessibility Camp; RantWoman heartily recommends signing up.

Accessibility Camp Seattle is dedicated to the simple premise that “digital inclusion” is fundamental to our digital age. Much as disability advocacy has transformed our physical world we now must look critically at how we are building the digital world so that it welcomes and empowers everyone. We will bring together the thinkers, the coders, the students, the teachers, the visionaries, the pragmatists, the designers, the writers, the readers, the dreamers and you to actively engage on this critical topic. This event embodies the “nothing about us, without us” rallying cry from the disability rights movement.

What To Expect
Accessibility Camp Seattle is a community facilitated, participant-driven event. It is different from a standard conference in that a conference has a set agenda with speakers at the front of the room and attendees listening from the audience; the information flows from the speaker to the attendees. For our event, the agenda is set by you and all attendees are encouraged to speak and listen. In other words, we want the information to flow multiple ways! We want to hear what you have to say. We want you to find other people who care about the same things you do and for you to start talking at this UNconference… and then to keep talking and building after the event is over. We believe that by getting the right people together to talk and brainstorm, we plant seeds of collaboration that will bear fruit outside of this event.
