    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">I went to Karen from Karlen
      Communications preconference on accessible documents at CSUN, as
      well as her session on PDF/UA and they were both excellent. The
      handouts that she shares on her site are really useful. <br>
      <br>
      I also attended sessions from staff from Simply Accessible, and
      they were also great. In particular, I think Derek Featherstone,
      was an engaging and knowledgable presenter.<br>
      <br>
      I'm not sure if either of these companies charge in US or
      Canadian, but the Canadian dollar sucks right now, so you might
      get some added value there. <br>
      <br>
      Cheers,<br>
