As suggested by Tanya Snook I ran the Tweet Reports, but in searching I found Tweet Reach which had a reporting tool that determined #a11yyow tweets reached 15,004 people. This was via searching for info within 50 tweets on December 06. 22 Tweets, 22 RT's and 6 @replies. The combined twitter exposure for the event was 37,057 impressions.

Prior the A11yYOW Unconference, we're hoping that people will also register for the City of Ottawa's AccessAbility Day 2011 on December 9th. All participants are asked to register in advance by December 1 by calling 3-1-1 (TTY: 613-580-2401), so we can't just wait to announce this at the end of the Unconference.
We're excited to announce that the registration for A11yYOW is now open. Please register to get updates on the conference leading up to the December 2nd event.
There will be no registration fee, but we need a good sense of numbers so that we can ensure that we have enough coffee & food for the day.
Please encourage other accessibility professionals & advocates to sign up. This will be a great opportunity to discuss the AODA & efforts to achieve WCAG 2.0 AA compliance.
