About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges and strategies for making events accessible for people with disabilities, featuring insights from hosts and a guest advocate.

Events are an opportunity for connection and discovery, but for people with disabilities, they often present barriers that make participation exhausting or even impossible.Our hosts, Katie & Kristen, reflect on their recent experience at the 40th CSUN Assistive Technology Conference. From noisy hallways to heavy hotel doors, they break down what worked, what didn’t, and why accessible design starts with real-world feedback. Joined by accessibility designer and advocate with lived experience, Tiffany Burtin, they dive into event accessibility insights and planning strategies!
