Quick Bytes + Connect

Quick Bytes + Connect, hosted by the Teach Access Alumni Network, is an opportunity to learn a new accessibility concept or skill in 20 minutes, presented by an accessibility expert. After the presentation, you are invited to join an optional breakout room for networking where you can connect with other alumni and attendees from industry, academia, government, and advocacy groups.

Advanced registration is required, and CART and ASL will be provided. Contact info@teachaccess.org for questions or to request additional accommodations. Teach Access is committed to making the event as accessible as possible. To make sure we can provide you with the best possible service, we kindly ask that you give us at least three business days’ notice for accommodation requests.
