Aimee StreicherSaroj's presentation on designing web sites for accessibility/
usability was very interesting and informative. The information presented should be something every web designer/developer should aware of when building a public site.

Steve HongSaroj's presentation was even good the second time, after having seen it first at NCTech4Good. She really makes you reconsider how accessibility is part and parcel of good user experience design and how current legal standards compel us to consider these angles for all publicly available websites for large businesses and organizations, even outside of government.
