Join us as we welcome back Sam Evans as we continue our conversation about accessibility and how to plan for it from the beginning stages and not when you're at the end of the process. Are you as a planner committed to accessible events and do you know how to ask for options at your venues? Are you as a supplier offering accessibility options and are planners aware they are options? According to the CDC, 61 million adults in the United States alone live with a disability. That is 26% (1 in 4) of adults in the United States living with some form of disability. 

During this session, you will learn...

  • How and when to include accessibility in your meeting planner timeline. 
  • The basics of sourcing accessible vendors for the non-technical. 
  • How to always keep optimizing the human experience as your guiding principal.

Did you miss Sam at the start of June? Access the on-demand session here and don't forget to register for her upcoming 30-Minute Monday on May 23rd here.
