Welcome Thanks, for coming to register for Accessibility Camp DC, on October 9, 2010. Date and Location We are going to have Accessibility Camp DC at the Martin Luther King Library here in Washington, DC, on October 9, 2010 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Check-in will begin at 9:30 AM once library opens. The Martin Luther King  (MLK) Jr. Memorial Library is located at: 901 G St NW, Room 215 Washington, DC 20001-4531 METRO OUTAGE No Orange or Blue line this weekend (Columbus Day) between Foggy Bottom metro station and Metro Center. You will need to plan ahead and add extra time to your trip because you will need to take shuttles or drive. Here is the link to more information about metro outage this weekend. General Overview We are still in the major planning stage for this event and are still looking for volunteers and sponsors. Please e-mail us at [email protected], if you would like to help or sponsor this event. This event is going to be run like a typical BarCamp, which is an un-conference, where the people attending are the speakers, please come with a talk or discussion in mind. Registration for this FREE event to attendees is now open. The reason we are holding off opening registration for all the tickets (150) is we are trying to make sure people don't just sign-up to get a spot not knowing what their schedule is going to be in two months and then not show up. Please follow http://www.twitter.com/AccessCampDC to know what is going on and when registration and other points of interest are occurring. Talk Ideas The main idea of this event is to get a whole lot of smart people together to learn and teach each other how to improve the web, software, even mobile applicatins, and make it accessible to all. Some suggestions for talks we had in mind are listed below. If you have other ideas send them to us or add them to the wiki, once we have that ready.

I'm doing this so it is easier for me to help people get around if I can. I'm also looking into having a cookout at my place Sunday afternoon for those from out of town. These were the rate I found a few days ago. There are no promises that they are still available and if there is even any room still at these hotels. If you have any other hotel questions just get in contact with me. Most of these hotels are less than a half mile from the metro (DC's subway).
