In-person attendees may arrive as early as 7 pm ET. If arriving late, please leave a comment on this page and someone will come down ASAP. WCAG 3.0 will shape how accessibility is measured for years, and it's still a draft. That makes now the time to read it and say what works. Thomas Logan will give a short tour of the latest W3C Working Draft: how it's organized, how the new Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels work, and how it reaches beyond web pages. He will host an interactive discussion. We'll share the group's comments afterward, with steps for sending your own feedback to the W3C. No WCAG expertise needed, and first-timers are welcome. Joining online? Add your thoughts in the YouTube chat, and we'll include them. **The discussion and livestream start at 7:30 pm ET**. In-person attendees may arrive as early as 7 pm ET. If arriving late, please leave a comment on this page and someone will come down ASAP. **Presenter bio** Thomas Logan has spent over twenty years helping organizations design and implement technology solutions that are accessible to people with disabilities. Throughout his career, he has led projects for federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as private sector organizations ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. He is the founder and owner of Equal Entry, whose mission is to contribute to a more accessible world. Equal Entry advances this mission by providing training, education, and accessibility audits across websites, desktop and mobile applications, games, and virtual reality. The company partners with organizations that build digital technologies to ensure accessibility is embedded from the start. **Accessibility** The presentation will have human captions [CC], not automatic captions. For ASL preferred speakers, learn about the [Aira ASL App](https://aira.io/aira-asl-app/), and download it before the event.

For additional accessibility requirements, please email meryl@equalentry.com **two weeks** **before** the event. **Livestream** [YouTube link](https://youtu.be/XiPUCmrpkKk) Provided by Internet Society Accessibility SIG. **Location details** The event is at 72 Spring Street on the 4th floor.

Folks in this Meetup group get **10% off**! Use code: **MEETUP** at checkout. **What's It Like?** We've all heard that making friends is hard, loneliness is an epidemic, and the internet is making us all forget how to be humans. So let’s ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING about it and talk to other human beings! You’ll pair up with the other nice people who showed up, and you’ll switch off partners every so often (kinda like speed-dating, but without the speed and without the dating). We'll have a fabulous host leading the whole shebang so it won't be awkward, and we'll give you question cards to guide conversation just a few notches deeper than you'd usually go so you don't accidentally talk about what you do for work six times in a row. And don’t worry… the questions aren’t going to trick you into trauma-dumping and aren’t just variations on “If you could have dinner with anybody dead or alive, who would it be?” They’re designed to actually help you feel connected to people, so they’re stuff like, “In what ways are you different from the person you were five years ago? In what ways are you the same?” And, “If you could give your 10-year-old-self one piece of advice (after stock tips and lottery numbers and that kind of stuff), what would it be?” And if you don’t vibe with any question for any reason, you can always just pick another one! Feel free to come alone (most people do-- we promise we won't make it weird for you) or bring a friend! There will be food and drinks for sale! **There is a 2 drink/food item minimum purchase for this event,** so please keep that in mind. **Check-in** for this event will begin around **6:45 pm**.
