The Summit promotes access and inclusion for persons with disabilities in all aspects of life.

We will address issues of accessibility in education, communication, recreation, mobility health and the physical environment and will have a special emphasis on employment. Our streams are:

1. Innovation: Highlighting and celebrating a world of best practices and innovative approaches to accessibility.
2. Technology: The promises and pitfalls of technology in contributing to accessibility for persons with disabilities in the home environment and beyond.
3. Accessible Communities: A focus on the built environment and the concepts and collaborations needed to create accessible communities.
4. Employment and other related topics

Presenters may choose from a variety of session options including a poster presentation. The deadline to submit is November 22, 2013. Committees of experts and leaders in the theme areas will review all proposals for presentation and posters. Authors of successful presentations and posters will be notified by February 7, 2014.
