Last night the CWSA presented “Standards Demystified” at the May NEOUPA meeting.

The panel was made up of:

• Brad Colbow - Colbow Design
• Julie Cousins - American Greetings
• Brendan Cullen - Aztek Creative
• Beth Dean - Progressive Insurance
• Brad Dielman - Moskal Gross Orchosky
• Bridget Stewart - Voices for Ohio’s Children

After Beth & Bridget rattled through the slides, highlighting the origin and need for web standards, the panel opened themselves to a good Q&A session. Topics covered included microformats, the business case for adoption, and browser compatibility issues. I think they answered all the questions well for both the technical and non-technical members assembled there.

Kudos to Progressive for hosting these events and NEOUPA for lining up the speakers and supplying the pizza. I hope this is the first of many collaborations between web-focused organizations in and around Cleveland.
