#Caption16 Video Recording Updates

It’s been a while since we have been able to post an update regarding the recordings of the presentations. Here’s the news:

  1. The video of the DIY presentation should be live shortly. Mike and Mike have captioned the video themselves in order to demonstrate the DIY that they presented about.
  2. Sean Zdenek’s keynote video will not be available; however, we have linked to a related presentation he gave with 3 Play Media recently.

You will be able to view the material, or link to it, on the Monday presentation page.

#Caption18 not #Caption17

Dear Allies, Friends, Supporters,

Thank you for helping make #Caption16 such a success this past August. It was an amazing experience, and many of us learned a lot about captions, captioning research, accessibility, and our community. Thank you!

While there were plans to put on a conference in 2017, we are postponing this until 2018 for a variety of reasons. We’re currently considering whether to keep the conference online, to make it hybrid with some face-to-face and online portions, or to have a fully face-to-face conference.

We hope to have some more news in the coming months!

Thank you for your support.

Best,
Gz

Please know that almost all the presentations and videos will be archived and available for future reference, viewing, and research. Please be sure to check back in the second to third week of August 2016. That will give us time to try and caption the videos.
