Accessibility Policy

AMIA is committed to providing equal access in all areas of the association, including the annual conference and all other in-person and online events.

When budgeting for the conference, AMIA will earmark a line in the budget specifically for event accessibility. These funds will be used flexibly to meet the specific needs of attendees, which will likely vary from year to year. Valid uses of these funds might include, but are not limited to American Sign Language (ASL) or other interpretation, rental of assistive devices, or transportation to a nearby conference venue like an offsite reception or plenary.

We will make these accommodations directly with attendees, and we ask that needs be communicated no later than the six weeks prior to the starting date of the conference to give us time to make arrangements. In order to accommodate as many attendees as possible, per-person caps on this funding will be implemented, and may vary year to year.
