John Slatin AccessU 2024
Attendee Guide

John Slatin AccessU is one of the highlights of our year. We reconnect to our origins, making the digital world more inclusive for people with disabilities. We recommit to our mission through a hands-on training conference dedicated to improving digital accessibility, awareness, and skills. 

We gather as a community sharing knowledge, insights, and fellowship. And we have a lot of fun along the way!

The full Schedule of Classes and events is posted (always subject to change but kept current. ). Schedule details will be available in an accessible spreadsheet format and posted for download from the Schedule page.

Zoom Events will be our conference hybrid platform for all sessions and events for AccessU 2025. Slack will be used as an additional method of communication and for networking. We will have a Zoom Events & Slack page for more information on how to utilize these tools and make the most of your AccessU experience.
