The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) is an international standard of guidelines used by developers to make sure sites and content are accessible to people with disabilities.

We will continue our journey of the upcoming WCAG 2.2 and explore the new success criteria and their benefit or impact on users with disabilities. You are the captain! As part of your registration, let us know which success criteria are you interested in learning more about.

Have questions you would like to send ahead of time or a specific problem you are struggling with on this topic? Email us at events@knowbility.org.

About Knowbility

Knowbility is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to create a more inclusive digital world for people with disabilities. We help make the internet and other technologies accessible to people who are blind, visually impaired, deaf or hearing impaired, have mobility impairments, and cognitive or learning disabilities. Our goal is to create a barrier-free world of information technology so that people with disabilities can fully participate in digital spaces.

We pursue our mission through three priorities:
o Education
o Awareness
o Advocacy

Accessible technology matters for the one billion people with disabilities around the world. Improved accessibility means access to healthcare providers and appointments, information technology, digital classrooms and learning, social inclusion and networking, shopping, entertainment, and travel arrangements, voter registration and civic engagement, banking and financial inclusion, & career training and employment.

Accessible digital design means everyone has access to unlimited opportunities to reach their full potential.
