Don’t miss out on this in-depth
look at successfully creating events accessible to all. From sign language
interpreters to audio description, from restrooms to meetings rooms, presenter
Betty Siegel of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will lead
you through the steps. This will be a practical and commonsense approach to the
elements and components to be considered to make any event accessible to
participants with disabilities. From beginning to end, your next event will be
more welcoming of and encourage participation from individuals with
disabilities. “A Brief ‘How-To’—Developing Accessible Events” will be held
