The Web Accessibility London unconference (a11yLDN) is a one day annual event that takes place every September and is organised on a voluntary basis. Each unconference has a specific theme usually these are related to impairments that are believed t be widely under-represented population within web accessibility. However the unconference also considers the wider-disability population. The event is structured with short presentations that have ‘longer’ discussions, i.e. a place for people to learn from each other. Workshops will be also offered to give attendees the opportunity to try out existing, new and emerging assistive technology.
