Technology Lunch & Learn: 
The Americans with Disabilities Act and Your Website
Please join us for a lunch and learn workshop at the chamber office!  We will be discussing how the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to your website. 

Attendees will have a chance to win a $100 American Express gift card at the event. 

Recent changes in the way the government views the ADA within the context of website accessibility has led to a major shift in the responsibility for website owners. This presentation will provide you with the information you need to understand and deal with the following issues:
  1. Understanding what web accessibility is and how it applies to you.
  2. Learning how to make your website accessible to the greatest number of users possible.
  3. Reducing or eliminating the risk of ADA-related lawsuits related to your website.
Lunch included!

Mike has been working in internet technology since 1995, and has overseen the development of hundreds of sites. Shotgunflat has been a member of the Neponset Valley Chamber of Commerce since 2005.
