I recently attended the Web Accessibility evening hosted by the UK Usability Professionals' Association ( http://www.ukupa.org.uk/events/june03meet.htm - held on the 17th June 2003 in London, UK), speakers were Peter Bosher and Ian Lloyd. Peter Bosher participated in this group in the past, and Ian Lloyd is the guy behind http://www.accessify.com and now part of WaSP, plus he is behind Nationwide's push towards accessibility - quite a role model! My take on the discussion and presentation is here: http://www.isolani.co.uk/blog/access/UpaAccessibilityMeetingWithIamLloyd In summary: We got an overview of how the UK Online ( http://www.ukonline.gov.uk ) website was built. Peter Bosher covered the issues and difficulties blind people have of surfing the web (an excellent talk). Ian Lloyd covered how Nationwide ( http://www.nationwide.co.uk ) recreated their website to be accessible. It was a very informative evening. Mike
