Accessibility in Technical Communication and the Workplace conference

Are you ignoring an important market sector?

How do we make our communications usable by people with hearing and sight difficulties?

How do we work with colleagues and customers who have hearing and sight difficulties?

The Society for Technical Communication UK and Ireland chapter is pleased to announce this major event that will give you the answers. The conference will be held in Cambridge, UK, at the Moller Conference Centre.

A top class event giving you practical information you can use. We have quality speakers that help you gain a competitive edge for your products and services. This is a quality training and lecture programme that is useful and insightful as well as affordable. Including workshops on website design, accessibility standards in the USA and EU.

We have assembled a variety of top speakers on different aspects of accessibility, including designing for all, learning about signing, meeting the needs of Deaf people, and what’s happening in the world of standards and accessibility.

(Members of the STC are entitled to discount prices, of £185 for both days or £105 for one day. UK & Ireland Chapter members get an additional discount)
