ABOUT THIS CONFERENCE
The Hearing Access & Inclusion Conference is a seven-day event that will highlight the tools, technologies, and best practices for people with hearing disabilities in celebration of the Americans with Disabilities Act’s 31st Anniversary. This is our second annual event! Last year we were sponsored by Google and this year we hope to see you again!
WHO CAN PARTICIPATE
We would love to see the majority of our attendees be people across the spectrum of hearing disability: cochlear implant and hearing aid users, members of the Deaf community, age or disability related hearing disability, and all those who identify as having some form of hearing challenge.
We welcome people of all disability status, education levels, job descriptions, whether you’re a designer, developer, marketer, entrepreneur, project manager, student, professor, or just a curious aspiring ally. In particular, we are focused on making space for, and elevating and respecting the voices and perspectives of all participants.
Register and tell your friends! Let’s make the future accessible to those with hearing disabilities.
