Accessibility

Thanks to a special grant from the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation, U2FP is proud to offer several accessibility accommodations for our attendees. This will include an American Sign Language certified interpreter working on-site for our in-person attendees, as well as closed captioning for our livestream attendees. Additionally, we have designed an interactive program (a hybrid print/digital format) that we believe will be a more accessible and convenient way for all attendees to access key information. We have also asked our presenters to take measures to make their presentations more accessible, with recommendations compiled from the United Nations Disability-Inclusive Communications Guidelines, the American Anthropological Association Virtual Presentation Accessibility Guidelines, and the World Wide Web Association Web Accessibility Initiative.

If you need an additional accommodation to fully participate, please email Lucia Webb (luciawebb@u2fp.org).
