The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) continues to update to its Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), the world’s most widely accepted technical standard for digital accessibility.

Version 2.1 was released in June 2018, version 2.2 is in review as of December 2020, and "Silver" (version 3.0) is on the horizon.

Join us to learn more about the additional success criteria and provisions that will benefit more people in a variety of situations with a focus on mobile devices, low vision, and cognitive considerations.

Users should have some basic understanding of WCAG.
