The ACPA17 Planning Team is committed to the creation of a convention experience that is accessible to all attendees. Throughout your registration and convention experience, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have difficulty accessing any portions of the convention, experience website incompatibility with adaptive technology, or have suggestions on how we can make this convention more accessible.
As we get to know Columbus, our hotels, and the Greater Columbus Convention Center, we will update this page with accessibility information.
If you have further questions about accessibility at Convention, please contact Mike Kutnak, the ACPA17 Access Coordinator.
