Glebe Rd. Arlington, VA 22201-5704 #E735 1994 Planning conferences that are accessible to people with disabilities involves focusing on the accessibility of all aspects of your meeting, from choosing a site through promotion, registration, presentations, and handouts. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) provides to individuals with disabilities the same civil rights protections that apply to race, sex, national origin, and religion.

Consequently, any meetings that are open to the public must comply with the provisions of the Act. Title III of the ADA stipulates that public facilities must make reasonable modifications to avoid discrimination in their policies, practices and procedures.
