Announcing a New Partner: Citizens With Disabilities – Ontario

Citizens With Disabilities Ontario Logo

We are pleased to announce that we are partnering with Citizens With Disabilites – Ontario to provide the accessible online conferencing system on October 27th. CWDO “actively promotes the rights, freedoms and responsibilities of persons with disabilities through community development, social action, and member support and referral.  [Their] primary activity is public education and awareness about the social and physical barriers that prevent the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in Ontario.”

We are enormously grateful to CWDO for making their system available. The ‘IDEAL Conference‘ system “provides the most accessible conferencing and collaboration experience available, anywhere in the world.  No new hardware is needed. All you need is a PC with a soundcard, headset, and a high-speed connection to the Internet; and you can hold fully accessible, 508 compliant online conferences from your desktop, from anywhere in the world, right now!”

Details about how to access the system will be provided to those who have indicated in their registration that they wish to attend online, closer to the date.
