<p>HI All, <br>
</p>
<p>Accessibility SIG is pleased to announce our next event -<b>Friday
October 30 at 8am Eastern which is 1200 UTC</b>, on how to make
your presentations, documents, web postings and other social media
posts and videos accessible.
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.a11ysig.org/accessible-social-media/">https://www.a11ysig.org/accessible-social-media/</a> Registration is
encouraged so that you can get the Zoom link. <br>
</p>
<p>The current pandemic has highlighted the grave importance of
increasing the awareness of how to have an accessible online
meeting. During this current Pandemic, where everything is virtual
many conferences are just not accessible to people with
disabilities. Through this series of six webinars, we hope to
increase the awareness of people so that their future conferences
can be made more accessible and inclusive to all irrespective of
the disability. Our goal is to make sure that the Internet is
really available and accessible to all just as the ISOC tagline
states. <br>
</p>
<p>This webinar will focus on Social Media, video content and
accessible documents<br>
</p>
<p>Social Media and Video content can be a vibrant and engaging way
to share information with your audience. Using image descriptions,
audio descriptions and captioning you can make your content more
inclusive of the disability community.<br>
<br>
During this presentation, Greg Shatan, ISOC NY’s President and
ISOC Accessibility SIG’s Treasurer will explore how to create
accessible social media posts as well as how to write, record and
post videos with captioning and audio description.<br>
<br>
<b>Accommodations: This meeting will have ASL and Captioning.
Users can join via Zoom, Livestream or Phone</b>. Live Remote
Participation by Zoom only.<br>
<br>
<b>Please REGISTER: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bit.ly/2HpOTzZ">https://bit.ly/2HpOTzZ</a></b><br>

<p>We look forward to seeing everyone there. Any questions please
ask.</p>
<p>Future webinars are scheduled for November 19 The Impact of Covid
19 and the switch to virtual meetings on the Deaf and hard of
hearing community<br>
</p>
<p>November 30 and in December. The November 30 Webinar will be our
joint event with ISOC Pacific Chapter. If your chapter wants to
