Virtual Conference Day Registration

ASHE is committed to offering an accessible learning and socializing environment for attendees. Accessibility is for everyone and includes multiple moving parts, which means creating accessible spaces requires a partnership between everyone sharing space. In an effort to shift how the Association, members, and conference attendees orient to access at the annual conference, the 2023 ASHE Conference Accessibility Committee developed a “Toward Disability Justice, Access, and Solidarity” website. Please review the website, which includes the Accessibility (Un)Statement, which was co-authored by scholars on the 2020-2022 CEP Accessibility and Equity/Inclusion Sub-Committee.

With the intent to increase accessibility for all ASHE attendees, we have outlined current guidelines and offerings below and will be adding additional resources as planning for the conference continues. We recognize that there are additional ways in which we can make events accessible for individuals. We will work with each attendee should they choose to submit an accommodation request, to ensure we provide the best possible support.

Conference Accessibility and Inclusion Contacts

Prior to the Conference, you can contact the following ASHE staff directly for questions or concerns:

• General Staff email at conference@ashe.ws
• Alicia Castillo Shrestha, ASHE Associate Director for Conference & Events at alicia@ashe.ws, (202) 925‑5935

Any on-site accessibility concerns can be brought to the attention of the ASHE Staff (located at the Conference Help Desk) or a hotel staff member.

Accommodation Requests

Event registrants will have the opportunity to add accessibility requests when they register for an event. This includes requests for attending or presenting at sessions for the in-person conference and virtual conference day. ASHE Staff can best meet needs when notified at least 3 weeks prior to any event. For the annual conference (Virtual Conference Day and In-person Conference), submitting accessibility requests on the registration form or by contacting the ASHE Conference and Accessibility and Inclusion Contacts prior to September 30, 2025 allows the ASHE Staff ample time to work with attendees, the hotel, and other partners to ensure we are able to provide fuller access to the in-person conference.
