On September 27th there is the Accessibility Summit and then on the 28th we have the UX Web Summit. Two really great online conferences run by those wonderful people of Environments for Humans. We’ve featured online conferences by E4H in the past because these are truly some great online conferences. I’m most excited about the UX Web Summit because one of the speakers is a good friend of mine Jason Beaird (@jasongraphix) who always does a super job as a presenter.

The Giveaway!
I think these conferences are seriously informative and well done and I don’t want you to miss any of them. I’ve talked the producers into letting us give away one ticket to each, so please all you have to do is leave us a comment below about either something UX or Accessibility related and we’ll pick a random winner from each type for the giveaway!
If they are falling from the sky like mana from heaven why not 🙂
I think one of the great things about @fontface is that it is still just text with a little style rather than using an image. You’re not loosing out on SEO, accessibility and should all the world’s technologies fail like CSS and JS, your text is still just plain ole text (HTML).
Thanks for the giveaway, would love to attend and bring back some useful UX info to our team!
User experience can make or break a site’s performance. I would love to learn more about how to improve my sites and simultaneously make my users feel welcome.
The UX Web Summit… is going to be face meltingly good. Each session looks to be packed with great takeaways.
Great chance to understand various disciplines of designing great products.
I’m excited to learn more from Kelly Goto about considering emotion as part of the user experience!
This is some good stuff
Would love to hear Ginny talk at UX Web Summit!
Thanks for the giveaway… from France 🙂
I’m not sure I would be able to understand all the conference but I will be happy to give a try and learn some interesting ux’formation !
Merci d’avance à vous et bonne journée !
I’d be very interested to hear more on Emotion: The New User Experience. Been thinking about this a lot of late as we try to plan for the future and understand where digital ux is going.
Congrats to Karl Phillips & Terry Patterson who won the free passes to these online events! Emails have gone out to follow up with you guys.
