WAI staff and EOWG at AccessU in Austin, TX May 11-14

Dear WAI IG,

We are excitedly preparing for web accessibility education and outreach in Austin, TX May 11-14. WAI staff Shawn Henry, Shadi Abou-Zahra, Eric Eggert, Kevin White, and Jeanne Spellman will be at AccessU in a couple of weeks.

We have a series of classes that start with the basics of web accessibility, provide a case study on responsive design, address evaluation, and more. See below for the classes. General information about AccessU is available from: <http://www.knowbility.org/v/john-slatin-accessu/>

The WAI Education and Outreach Working Group (EOWG) will also be seeking your input on prototypes of new resources and tools. More information about New WAI Tools Feedback and the EOWG Meeting is below.

We look forward to seeing folks in Austin in a couple of weeks!

Best,
~Shawn
