*[[Drumbeat/events/Festival/program/TeachingNonTechnicalStaff|'''How to teach marketers about web standards and inclusive design''']] - In most organisations, the people who procure and manage websites sit within Marketing or Operations rather than IT, and this has created a big knowledge gap. The principles of Open Standards and Inclusive Design are currently the domain of Designers and Developers. Even so, as these principles remain outside of the mainstream, the web is light years away from achieving Inclusivity Nirvana. Sandi Wassmer will be talking about what non-technical web professionals need to know in order to uphold these principles and get the best out of their digital communications. She will also open up the discussion for the group to share their experiences, knowledge and views. | *[[Drumbeat/events/Festival/program/TeachingNonTechnicalStaff|'''How to teach marketers about web standards and inclusive design''']] - In most organisations, the people who procure and manage websites sit within Marketing or Operations rather than IT, and this has created a big knowledge gap.
