Knowbility at SxSW
Join Knowbility for our ninth year at the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival at the Austin Convention Center. Our booth on the floor of the Interactive/Film (iF!) is a showcase of assistive technology and accessible design. Try your hand at using some of the technology accommodations that help people with disabilities live independently. Visit our booth to network with the industry experts who are participating on accessibility-related panels at the event.
At our booth you will also be able to submit your site for review, and vote for your favorite AIR-Interactive web site. Then come party with us at the 2010 Accessiblity Internet Rally (AIR) Interactive Awards and Dewey Awards ceremony.
