1:00pm – ADA Compliance: Know the Basics
An introduction to the basic concepts, principles and considerations of ADA compliance, ideal for individuals new to the field.
3:00pm – Beyond Compliance: Advancing ADA Practices
A more advanced exploration of best practices and next steps to move your organization to the next level of inclusivity. This session builds on the previous session, but may be attended on its own by those already familiar with the basics.
