Legible is a member of the Advisory Committee of W3C, a global organization founded by the inventor of the world wide web, that manages new developments, develops code bases, and upholds standards for the dynamically emerging technologies on the web.
This year, the W3C conference features a virtual Digital Publishing Salon for the international publishing community focused on the open web, including Legible’s specialization: browser-first publishing and reading for mobile and desktop environments – and the enormous potential this approach holds for development of globally-accessible interactivity, immersive audio-visual reading, and educational content.

"It has been a pleasure working with Legible to build local awareness and a dynamic and timely set of conference offerings for our 2022 conference in Vancouver," said Alan Bird, W3C’s Global Business Development Lead.
Through its reading platform and online bookstore – Legible.com – Legible has made browser-based publishing and reading a reality so that anyone can access ebooks from any internet-enabled device.
Legible’s publishing vertical, Legible Publishing Services, creates unique content for the browser-based environment, including groundbreaking multimedia publications such as Not Extinct: Keeping the Sinixt Way, developed for the Sinixt Nation with their publisher, Maa Press, and an exclusive partnership with #1 New York Times-bestselling author and business visionary, Mr. T. Harv Eker, to produce his first multimedia ebook for release in September 2022.
"As a contributing member and leader in the field of browser-based publishing and reading, Legible is honoured to work with W3C on the future of web publishing," said CEO Kaleeg Hainsworth. "We are proud to contribute to the development of global standards and initiatives that will ensure universal access to ebooks while supporting efforts to bring the digital publishing industry into the twenty-first century."
This year, the W3C member meeting, known as the Technical Plenary and Advisory Committee meeting (TPAC) will be hybrid, with the main in-person hub in Vancouver, Canada, and remote event attendees. Other offerings for public participation include a free in-person Developer Meet-up at the Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre from 6-8.45pm on Tuesday, September 13 for which participants need to pre-register.
Additionally, W3C will host a series of virtual breakout sessions on the afternoon of Wednesday, September 14. Anyone with a W3C account will be able to join the breakouts virtually free of charge by registering here.

Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information and statements are the following: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, including changes in the financial markets; changes in applicable laws; and the diversion of management time. Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties or other factors materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information or statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or expected.
