Accessibility at ATIA 2023

ATIA strives to make our event accessible to all individuals who attend. From the hotel to the sessions to the exhibit hall, and including our materials, we believe you will find a solution that meets your needs. If for any reason you are unable to access any part of our event, please let us know and we will find a resource or solution to meet your needs.

Captioning Links

During the conference, we will share information here on how to access live captioning links for sessions taking place in Caribbean I-V on Thursday and Friday (live-stream sessions). The links can be used by both virtual attendees and in-person attendees.

Session Evaluations

Links to individual session evaluations can be found in the session descriptions of the mobile app, or on the Online Session & Handout Directory webpage. As part of ATIA’s “go green” initiative, we will not be providing printable session evaluation forms. We encourage you to use electronic options and help preserve our environment.

If you have any questions about session evaluations, please contact education@atia.org.
