I think this was the same conference I tried attending yesterday using
JAWS. The log in was quite accessible. Unfortunately, I was unable to
use JAWS to interact with the UI, which was a particularly troublesome
issue since I didn't seem to be getting sound either and I couldn't fix
the issue because I couldn't use JAWS.

Honestly, yesterday I wasn't certain if it was a technical or
accessibility issue since I kept finding information that indicated that
there were at least some accessibility features in Adobe Connect and I
didn't see anything that indicated it would not work with a screen
reader. So, I probably spent 2 to 2 1/2 hours trying to troubleshoot
the issue before I gave up.

I will say that I was glad to hear that the online conference was going
to provide captioning.
