Macromedia stated, “We’re excited to be able to offer 
an accessibility seminar itself in accessible webcast 
format as we have in the past. We’ve again selected 
TVWorldwide.com and AbleTV to webcast the event 
because of their vast expertise in captioned video 
streaming, or “webcapting” and the extensive 
interactive audience they bring from the community of 
those people with disabilities.” 

“We’re pleased to have been selected again by the 
Macromedia for this important event,” stated Dave 
Gardy, Chairman and CEO of TVWorldwide.com. “We

accessibility.”
