Plans are underway for the 2012 workshop to be held in:
- Washington DC
- Denver CO
- Atlanta GA
- Seattle WA or Portland OR
Section 508′s standards and requirements will expand in early 2012 to affect nearly all Federal government documents, whether produced by government employees or by contractors. Read Bevi Chagnon’s online article about Section 508′s expansion and how it will affect your work.
Complete Section 508 coverage.
Learn the basic steps of creating accessible documents at PubCom’s Section 508 Accessibility Workshop for government publishing. Covering the complete process from the initial Word document to finished Acrobat PDF, the Sec. 508 Accessibility Workshop is designed for those who create, manage, or receive federal documents:
- Writers and Editors
- Website Managers
- VISs
- Content Management Contributors
- Desktop Publishers and Designers
- Government Contractors
- Grant and Proposal Writers
- Recipients of federal government grants and funds
- Others who maintain, develop, edit, or manage information for Federal government agencies.
This unique event combines our popular individual classes into a complete 2-day workshop that teaches best practices and techniques for creating Section 508-compliant accessible documents. Starting with an overview of Federal regulations, standards and guidelines (focusing on the forthcoming expanded regulations due in 2011), the workshop continues with hands-on sessions in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Adobe Acrobat Professional.

Optional add-on day for InDesign
Desktop publishers can add an optional add-on day for Adobe InDesign to complete their training for an accessible publishing workflow. See the course description for the optional add-on InDesign day.
Would like more information on the Seattle workshops and am hoping that those workshops will be Mac compatible. Thanks!
We’re working on the 2012 schedule and will have a workshop in Seattle or Portland. Keep posted!
We are setting our fall and winter schedule. Should have an announcement and updates to this website in late September. Look for workshops starting in November. If you’d like to make sure you don’t miss the announcement, sign up for our email newsletter/blog at http://www.pubcom.com/blog/sign-up.html

And yes, our workshops are Mac compatible. We’re platform “agnostic” and our techniques work for both Mac and Windows users.
