Nothing about accessibility at AnEventApart 2009?
I recently attended 
AnEventApart (AEA) in Chicago. AEA, spin-off of AListApart (‘for people who make websites’) and baby of the two founding fathers / gods / gurus of standards-based web design, Jeffrey Zeldman and Eric Meyer, fields a higher class speaker than your average web design event. This year’s bunch included Zeldman and Meyer themselves, and others known to have something of substance to say, like Andy Clarke and Dan Cederholm. Lesser known but nonetheless making an impact were Whitney Hess on users,
Kristina Halvorson on content, and Luke Wroblewski’s entertaining and eye-opening talk on the many, many, many things you can get wrong in web form design.
No session on accessibility, though.
