Accessibility & Inclusivity
We prioritize creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where all participants can thrive. We encourage everyone to join us in co-creating an accessible space that respects and accommodates diverse needs.
In collaboration with the Neurodiversity Initiative, we recommend the use of Communication Badges to foster an atmosphere of inclusion and understanding. Badges will be available at registration.
In addition, poster presentations will be made available to view in PDF format the day of the conference.
