CUNY Accessibility Conference

The CUNY Accessibility Conference Committee invites you to RSVP to attend the 10th Annual CUNY Accessibility Conference, scheduled for Wednesday, April 24, 9:00am-3:30pm, at John Jay College with registration and breakfast beginning at 8am. 

The conference theme Disability in the Workplace will be expressed through a series of panel discussions focused on Persons, Practices, Research, and Technology:

PERSONS: How do we prepare students with disabilities for employment?

PRACTICES: How does disability impact job seekers, employers, and hiring practices? How can employers accommodate applicants? What are the advantages of hiring people with disabilities?

RESEARCH: What supports are in place for job seekers and how prepared are companies to recruit and hire people with different types of disabilities? What do today’s students need to know about labor market trends?

TECHNOLOGY: What are the technologies in place to accommodate people in the workplace? How can employers determine what technology is needed?

Our annual conference brings together over 300 professionals, creating an essential pathway to sharing information and cutting edge ideas throughout CUNY. Attendees will also have the opportunity to interact directly with assistive technology vendors, attend plenary keynote sessions, and review original work by CUNY disability studies scholars.
