Testimonials
The National ADA Symposium was a great resource for me as a new ADA Coordinator. Participating in informative discussion sessions, meeting others in the field, and access to vendors specializing in accessible technologies were just some of the highlights for me.

Sponsoring and exhibiting at the National ADA Symposium was an outstanding experience for H2T. The energy, the expertise, and the passion of the attendees made this one of the most impactful events we’ve been part of. We connected with so many dedicated professionals–ADA coordinators, advocates, and accessibility leaders-and had powerful converations about how our technology is transforming accessibility for the blind and visually impaired and others with disabilities. From start to finish, the Symposium was incredible, well-organized and welcoming. We left feeling inspired and motivated by the shared commitment to inclusion, and we’re proud to support this vibrant community. We’ll definitely be back!

The National ADA Symposium was an amazing experience filled with incredible information, expertise, and opportunities to connect with others across the country that value intentional accessibility as much as I do! Lead On, and I can’t wait until next year!

…this was my first ADA Symposium. It was truly a wonderful event. I had brought my daughter Cacia Shehan with me to the conference. Cacia is 6 years old and doesn’t have a disability. She plays basketball and gymnastics. She truly had a wonderful experience learning how to play wheelchair basketball. She was out there for the entire time frame. She also tried pickle ball and thought that was fun. When she came home and went to her basketball practice, she was telling the other kids about what she learned and that she even had an opportunity to play wheelchair basketball. If we can get more kids like Cacia to go back to her school and community and share what she had learned, then maybe we can help to make the world more inclusive for all.

The National ADA Symposium is a great opportunity to learn about the various aspects of the ADA world. There are a vast amount of resources available. The sessions are very informative and provide valuable information and perspectives of how to address issues regardless of your experience and the Title of ADA that you work under.
Attending the National ADA Symposium was a transformative experience for me both personally and professionally. The Symposium gave me a direct access to leading experts, cutting-edge legal updates, and practical strategies that I have already begun to apply in my work. What impressed me most was how the sessions connected the letter of the law with the real-life stories of people with disabilities, reminding us why this work matters. The training strengthened my resolve to ensure that ADA compliance is more than paperwork–it is about dignity, rights, and justice. I left the Symposium not only more knowledgeable, but more inspired to hold institutions accountable and to advocate fiercely for individuals whose voices are too often ignored.
