Hi all,

I just wanted to draw your attention to the Techshare 2009 Conference which is happening in London 16-18 September. This is a technology and disability conference and there are some great things on the programme in the web area. Just a few include:

* Cynthia Waddell, International Center for Disability Resources on the Internet will be a keynote speaker

* Andrew Arch and Shadi Abou-Zahra, W3C will be presenting on the web and older people
* Henny Swan, Opera will be presenting on the mobile web
* Andrew Kirkpatrick, Adobe will be presenting on accessible RIA's with Flash, Flex and Air
* Michael Cooper, W3C will be presenting on WCAG 2.0 key concepts
* I will be presenting on standards issues across software and the web
* Brian Kelly UK Web Focus, will be presenting on web accessibility to web adaptability

There are also day pre-conference workshops on software accessibility and Web applications enabled with WCAG 2.0 and WAI-ARIA.
