General Information

Thanks for visiting the home of the second Accessibility Camp Toronto. The event will take place Saturday November 17 at OCAD University (100 McCaul Street). The goal of the day is to provide an open, informal space where attendees will drive the agenda.

Focusing on users with different disabilities, sessions can cover digital accessibility topics (technical to tactical) from the web, desktop software, mobile apps, eLearning, online gaming, open source innovations, and everything in between. Watch this brief video from the first Accessibility Camp Toronto to get a feel for what to expect during the day.

Regardless of your level of knowledge, this event is for you. It will be a great opportunity for members of the design/development, usability, accessibility, other IT and end-users with disabilities communities to interact and learn from each other. We recommend you browse the Frequently Asked Questions, especially if you have never attended a participant-driven BarCamp/unconference before.

Accessibility Camp Toronto takes its inspiration from the first Accessibility Camp DC, which was held in October 2009. Sister events include:

• Boston Accessibility Conference
• A11y Camp Guelph
• Accessibility Camp Seattle

Accessibility Camp Toronto is completely free to attendees.
