<a id="content"></a>Call for Presentations</h1>
<p>According to Wikipedia: "An unconference is a facilitated, participant-driven conference centered on a theme or purpose." For the 2014 Ottawa Accessibility Unconference, we are combining both preplanned presentations with participant selected presentations.</p>
<p>We will start the day with an open panel discussion. We are aiming to invite experts with experience from various government levels (federal, Ontario and Quebec) to share their experience on creating and implementing web accessibility standards.</p>
<p>The organizers are also inviting 4 speakers in advance. On the day, participants will vote to choose the other 8 presentations. In total, each person at the event will attend 4 presentations of their choice and the mornnig panel.</p>
<p>We are soliciting proposals for the unconference portion of the event. Proposals must be submitted by midnight, Wednesday December 3. You will need to be available to speak during any time slot between 10 and 5 pm.</p>
<h2>Possible topics</h2>
<p>Tell us about working with other individuals, departments, institutions or sectors to achieve objectives such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>developing accessible policies, practices, tools and resources</li>
<li>launching global or community accessibility initiatives</li>
<li>addressing accessibility in the workplace</li>
<li>and tell us the results of your collaboration</li>
</ul>
<p>NB: Lecture style presentations would be best. We will provide projectors but tables for small group work are only available in some of the rooms.</p>
<p>Typically, presentations which provide attendees with a framework to
<strong>move from ideas to action</strong>are more popular.</p>
<p>Remember:
<strong>you won't be confirmed as a speaker until 10 am on Saturday</strong>.</p>
<p>Please bring your presentation on a USB, place it publically on the web for access or bring it on a laptop. (The site does have WIFI but a backup version on your laptop is always wise.)</p>
