The W3C Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) held a full day Web Accessibility Best Practices Exchange Training on 6 July 2004 in Paris, France, as part of the WAI-TIES Project (WAI - Training, Implementation, Education, Support). The training preceded the ICCHP 2004 conference; the facility was provided by Université Pierre et Marie Curie and additional logistical help was provided by BrailleNet.
