Accessibility at the ASBH Annual Conference
ASBH is committed to providing an outstanding experience for all participants at its events. We strive for access to all activities—to the fullest extent possible—at these events based on an awareness of participants' needs and appropriate planning.
During the registration process, you are asked to indicate the area(s) in which you will need assistance. If you select, “I have other needs, please contact me”, you will be connected via email with an ASBH staff member to discuss the specific accessibility accommodations you are requesting.
We ask that all requests for reasonable accommodations at our live events be made as early as possible, and well in advance of the event, so that we may best meet individual needs. On-site requests will be met to the best of our ability; however, available resources may be limited.
