Deque is giving a seminar on Wednesday, October 24th, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.

As more and more federal agencies utilize web-based tools to deliver information and services to constituents, 508 compliance becomes more critical to ensure that users who are disabled have equal access. Join a panel of experts who have implemented, supported, and benefited from successful 508 compliance programs at the federal level. New tools and technology that make Section 508 compliance possible on a wider variety of sites with less effort for agency web teams will also be highlighted. Web managers within agencies will walk away with a collection of best practices, ideas, and tools to use on their own web-based resources.

This seminar is particularly for web managers at federal agencies, or members of agency web governance boards.  If you or your team are interested in attending, please pre-register for the event.
