As part of Epsilon’s goal to provide the best experience for your meeting attendees, we make every effort to accommodate those with special needs. As a result, all of Epsilon’s public-facing Web pages are fully accessible to people with disabilities in accordance with Section 508 and other International standards and guidelines.
508 Compliant Registration Software
In order to be compliant, we had to comply with the following set of standards used to evaluate that our site is 508 compliant:
- Keyboard access for mobility impaired users.
- Color contrast for users with low vision.
- Alternative content for visual aspects of the site so that assistive products, such as screen readers, can easily access and translate information to users.
- Properly labeled fields in all online forms.
Epsilon’s ERegtm online registration system, originally released in 2003 under the EventRebels name, was the first online conference registration system to be fully compliant with Federal standards for accessibility to people with disabilities (commonly known as “Section 508”).
Section 508 Background
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998 requires all US federal agencies to make their information technology accessible to their employees and customers with disabilities. The law also gives federal employees and members of the public the right to sue if the government agency does not provide comparable access to the information and data available to people without disabilities. Section 508 also applies to Web sites that are produced for government agencies. All state agencies that receive federal funds under the Assistive Technology Act of 1998 are also required to comply with Section 508 requirements.
Please view the Section 508 government web site to see details of section 508 standards and links to resources.
