IDEAS 2007 is the Federal government's annual conference on Section 508, presented by the GSA.

Why IDEAS 2007 is important to you!
The Rehabilitation Act of 1998 requires Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology accessible to people with disabilities. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies that will help achieve these goals. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or use electronic and information technology.
