ACHA is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive meeting experience for all attendees. We prioritize creating an inclusive and accessible environment by providing accommodations and resources tailored to the diverse needs of our participants. Explore the available accessibility features and services designed to support your participation in this event.

If you require accommodation or accessibility support to participate fully in the meeting, please indicate this on your meeting registration and provide the details as requested. If you have already registered and did not include this information, you may go back into your record using the login information you used to submit your registration to modify your response to the Special Accommodations question.

We encourage attendees to submit accommodation requests by May 3, 2027, to allow sufficient time to coordinate services and make necessary arrangements. Requests received after this date should be sent to education@acha.org and will still be considered. We will make every reasonable effort to provide appropriate accommodations, including for requests submitted closer to or during the meeting. If additional information is needed to coordinate your request, a member of our team will contact you.

In addition to the individual accommodations provided upon request, we take additional steps to ensure all attendees are able to participate fully in the meeting.
