Posters and Presentations

All presenters are strongly encouraged to adhere to the Guidelines for Accessible Posters and Presentations that provides recommendations for preparing a successful and inclusive contribution to the conference. In addition, wherever possible, captioning and/or ASL interpreters will be provided (i.e., Opening Plenary).

DIAC Conference Space Tour

The Disability Inclusion and Accessibility Committee (DIAC) will offer a unique tour of the Colorado Convention Center conference space for attendees who would benefit from becoming familiar with their surroundings in advance of the conference to aid with accessibility and comfort. To confirm your attendance and request specific items for inclusion in the walk-through (such as gender-neutral bathrooms or a quiet reflection room), please complete this brief form. Completing this form is preferred but not required; if you are unsure about your plans at this time, you can still join the tour without RSVPing.

If you have any questions regarding the Conference Space Tour, please contact Lisa Finkelstein, doclisafink@gmail.com.

The tour will depart from Registration promptly at 4PM MT Wednesday, April 2, 2025.
