e-Accessibility Conference

Start Date: 21/10/05

End Date: 21/10/05

Meeting type: Other Meetings and Conferences
Policy area: Transport, Telecommunications and EnergyEmployment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs
Location: Landmark Hotel, London

The main theme running through the conference will be the forthcoming Communication from the European Commission on eAccessibility, which will set out an action plan to ensure that disabled and elderly citizens in Europe get equal access to electronic ICT products and therefore enjoy the social and economic freedom that these products and services gives everyone.

The conference will include keynote speeches and workshops – focusing on broadcasting, telecoms, Internet and electronic consumables, with appropriate European chair/ panel members representing industry, disabled/ elderly groups, member states and organisations.

Charities, NGOs and major electronic communication and broadcasting organisations will participate in the event to ensure that we have a good debate that will help move this important issue forward.
