An invitation from the W3C WAI-Adapt Task Force

Dear Anne:

We're writing to invite you, either in person
or virtually via Zoom,  to a W3C Face to Face meeting concerning AAC
symbols standardization. Our Accessible Platform Architectures (A)A
Working Group Task force, WAI-Adapt, will be meeting at the Samsung
facility near London's Heathrow Airport on Monday and Tuesday, May 5 and
6. We've made great progress regarding supporting AAC in web content,
but questions remain, and your expertise is highly relevant. So, we hope
you will be able to join us--virtually or in person--for at least some
of the time.

All relevant details for this meeting, including realtime agenda updates
as well as pointers to local lodging, are provided on this wiki page:

[WAI-Adapt Face to Face, May 5 & 6](https://github.com/w3c/adapt/wiki/2025%E2%80%9005-Face-to-face-meeting)

*	Monday will focus primarily on refining and advancing a registry
*	specification in support of content authoring with AAC.

*	Tuesday will focus on ascertaining that we have appropriately
*	accounted for all user scenarios.

[Issue 240](https://github.com/w3c/adapt/issues/240) served as a
cornerstone of our deliberations over the past year (and more). So,  we
would love to check-in. We hope that this Face to Face event provides an
opportunity to continue our close coordination with WHAT-WG. We regard
you as a key person who has always been most helpful. advancing
accessibility on the web. We believe we're close to a meaningful
approach for AAC symbols in web content that will help the hundreds of
thousands world-wide who benefit significantly from AAC.

Thanking you in advance,

Janina & Matthew APA Co-Chairs
On behalf of WAI-Adapt
