Every two months, members of the Access Board hold a meeting, which is
primarily open to the public. The meetings typically span three days, with
the first two days usually dedicated to committee meetings and presentations
and the afternoon of the third day devoted to the agenda of the full Board.
The meetings are webcast live, as well as archived.

The next meeting of the Board will be held January 13 from 2:00 - 4:00 (ET)
and will feature a presentation on conducting virtual meetings and events
that are accessible to persons with disabilities. Guest speakers from the
Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Communications Commission
will explain what makes virtual platforms accessible and highlight common
access issues. They will also cover best practice recommendations and
resources for platform accessibility. The public is encouraged to attend.
