Making Internet Accessibility Mainstream
On Tuesday, July 22, Boston-IA will join other Boston area user experience groups for an informal summer pot-luck picnic party at Mayor Thomas W. Danehy Park in Cambridge, Massachusetts, from 6:00 p.m. until dusk.
The networking picnic welcomes members and guests of Boston Interactions, a consortium of Boston area user experience organizations, currently including:
The picnic is pot-luck, so please bring food to share. Make it at home or pick it up on the way. (There is a Whole Foods Market close by.)
The organizers will provide drinks, cups, paper plates, napkins, plastic forks, knives, spoons, and other supplies.
This June, Boston-IA celebrates its fifth anniversary. It's time for a change, so the Boston-IA board of directors voted to update our tagline to more accurately reflect what we are all about. The old tagline, "Bringing Information Architecture and Internet Accessibility Together", is being retired.
We think our new tagline, "Making Internet Accessibility Maintream", better represents our mission:
On October 22, 2008, Boston-IA will be pleased to present Boston-IA Emeritus Board Member, Mike Paciello, talking about his work as co-chair of the committee charged by the Federal government with updating the Section 508 and Section 255 accessibility technical standards.
If you have any concerns about making electronic information accessible whatsoever, this is the meeting to attend!
Boston-IA continues to focus on our mission of making Internet Accessibility mainstream.
We define Internet Accessibility as providing universal access, regardless of physical, cognitive, or technological barriers. We define Information Accessibility, in the broadest sense, as ensuring the clarity and organization of content and the information that people need.
The Boston-IA board is always planning new programs. Don't miss out on the chance to learn how universal access to electronic information benefits everyone. Join Boston-IA for more great programs.
