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.

Mobility
Due to the large size of most of the event, venues for sessions and activities are often spread out over a wide area, and distances between locations can be considerable. ASBH staff will work with the venues to make the locations as accessible as possible.
Elevator Access
There are three elevators with access to the meeting rooms on the First and Second Floors:
- One elevator is located near the restrooms off of Midway West. When facing signs for the ballrooms, the elevator is located to the right side, near the end of the hall.
- One elevator is located near the stairwell adjacent to Midway rooms 1-4. Pass through the glass doors across from the Midway suites to access the elevator. If you opt to take this elevator, please note that you will need to take the elevator to the Lobby Level to access the Seconf Floor meeting rooms.
- One elevator is located near the Grand Hall stairwell next to the Registration Desk. Follow signs for the Men's Restroom and continue down the hall. The elevator will be on the left side.
