The Usability Professionals Association has established World Usability Day to help spread the word about the benefits of usability. Local events are planned in more than 20 cities that will feature experts, case studies, tools, and other resources. Inclusive Technologies and the IDEAL Group are hosting an accessibility event for World Usability Day. Not a local meeting -- it's going to be a 24-hour, round-the-world webcast featuring dozens of accessibility experts, policy developers, and advocates for universal design. You will be able to see and hear these presenters on any Windows PC with a broadband connection, and communicate with them by text in a chat window. All presentations and the text dialog will be archived and put on a blog for continuing discussion. more info and registration at
