"We saw a real change come out of Accessibility 2.0 with the creation of Easy YouTube which in turn prompted Scripting Enabled proving that Accessibility 2.0 wasn't 'just another accessibility conference'. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes out of this years conference with it's focus on design, mobile web, Deafness and emerging technologies such as WAI-ARIA and HTML 5"
