Accessing Higher Ground: Accessible Media, Web & Technology Conference –
November 16 – 20, 2020

Proposal Deadline: May 8



Accessing Higher Ground 2020 is now accepting proposals for its 23rd Annual
Conference in Denver, Colorado.*



Due to the uncertainty caused by the pandemic, individuals will not be
penalized for submitting a proposal and later declining to present at the
conference onsite. Attendees and speakers will also be allowed to cancel
their registrations until very close to the conference without a
cancellation fee.



Although the first-round deadline is May 8 we will review submissions on a
rolling basis and will post accepted sessions on the conference website
<https://accessinghigherground.org/accepted-sessions-for-ahg-2020/> as they
occur.



AHG focuses on:



· accessible media

· Universal Design

· best practices for web & media development

· accessible curriculum

· alternate format

· teaching about accessibility and UD in university curriculum (and
elsewhere)

· evidence-based research

· other topics related to accessibility in higher education and other
environment
