Virtual Accessibility Conference 2021

Mark your calendars! This year's Accessibility Conference is scheduled for May 25-27, 2021.

We are pleased to be able to welcome you back to the 2021 Annual Accessibility Conference virtually this year, from the comfort of your own surroundings.

The 12th Annual Accessibility Conference boasts another great year of interactive workshops, discussion forums, and concurrent sessions, as well as a panel presentation and closing capstone session focusing on Accessibility, Inclusion and the Future of Work and Learning.

Most sessions will be hosted live via the Zoom videoconferencing platform—links to the sessions will be provided to registered participants closer to the conference date.

There will also be plenty of opportunities scheduled throughout the conference to connect with your fellow community members and colleagues.

This year's registration fee gives you the opportunity to attend more sessions than ever, including both conference/concurrent session days, plus post-conference access to concurrent session recordings.

Please visit our Sessions page to look through the workshop and session details. We will be sure to add more details in the weeks ahead. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing you soon!
