How to Make Virtual Events Accessible to People With Disabilities
|
|
One in four Americans has a disability, and too often these individuals are not able to participate fully in online events. It’s time to change that.
At the Chronicle, we are learning how to ensure that our webinars are accessible and inclusive. With guidance from the experts who will speak at our next session we have added accommodations to our webinars.
We hope you’ll join us in this work — and for tomorrow's webinar, How to Make Virtual Events Accessible to People With Disabilities, at 2 PM ET.
Our guests will explain how to:
Persuade leaders to invest in making online gatherings more accessible Create a plan to improve accessibility at an event — and adapt your budget Ensure communications materials are accessible and welcoming to donors with disabilities Register today and join us live or watch the recording whenever you like.
