In a few weeks there is going to be the biggest web event of the Western Australian calendar year. Not just the Edge of the Web conference, there is also Webjam, four workshops and the WA Web Awards all in one roller coaster week.

One of the keynote speakers and workshop presenter at the Edge of the Web conference is Derek Featherstone. Derek is particularly renown for his straight forward and often enlightening approach to accessibility.

The other day I took the opportunity to discuss with Derek his motivation, the future of accessibility and his forthcoming workshop.

Webjam Sept 2007

I have been waxing on a little about Edge of the Web, the Perth web conference and workshops (3 weeks to go), but there is another event on the evening of Edge of the Web - WebJam.

Webjam is a fun contest where 18-20 people step up and show of what they have been working on, all in a 3 minute presentation per person.
