Organisation

Organising the W4A conference takes a lot of time and effort, for little, to no reward. Indeed, a conference such as this can only proceed at such a high quality based on the volunteerism of a dedicated community of researchers. This year, as with every year, the WEB4ALL Conference Steering Committee would like to thank our chairs and co-chairs for all their hard work over the space of the previous year.
