The details of the first ever
NZ SharePoint conference have been finalised.
"This will be the New Zealand conference to learn about
SharePoint 2007 with expert local and international speakers
presenting on topics that will help you understand and succeed with
your SharePoint implementations and add real value to your
organization and businesses."
I'm quite excited to be presenting a session on Web Standards
and accessiblity. This is something I'm quite passionate about and
have done a fair amount of research on over the last couple of
years. I plan to focus on public websites and the basics of
accessibility and W3C compliance.
I wrote a
blog post on this almost exactly two years ago. Some of the
techniques are a little outdated now but I'll be addressing that in
my session.
The actual session brief is something along the lines of
.....
Title: Web Standards, SharePoint and
Accessibility - Yes you can.
Description: Web Standards, Accessibility,
SharePoint. Many people are under the impression that these words
don't go together. In this session Zac will demonstrate how a
public web site in SharePoint can be both accessible and adhere to
W3C recommendations. A number of available tools will be evaluated
including AKS 2.0 and ARF. Zac will also provide many tips and
techniques for anyone looking to build a web standard compliant
site in SharePoint.
Attendees should have a basic understanding of SharePoint
Publishing Features and NZ Web Standards.

The conference is pretty exciting stuff for NZ's SharePoint
community - so don't miss it!
