Abstract
Nowadays online conference management systems are an essential tool for the organization of a conference. However, most such systems do not provide support for accessibility by disabled users. This paper discusses the design and development of a platform supporting the development of accessible conference management systems, focusing on accessibility integration through the use of an iterative approach. Accessibility issues as they ere raised during the evaluation procedure are also discussed.
