*[[Drumbeat/events/Festival/program/TeachingNonTechnicalStaff|'''How to teach marketers about web standards and inclusive design''']] - In most companies non-technical staff like marketers inevitably end up being responsible for procurement of web sites, but because these groups of people largely don't understand the concepts of open standards and inclusive design, they therefore end up with web sites that are unusuable and inaccessible to a lesser or greater degree. In this session, Sandi Wassmer will tackle this problem, talking about what non-technical professionals need to know, and how to get it over to them in a way they will understand. Your opinions and discussion are of course very welcome.
