M-Enabling Summit Accessibility Desk
The M-Enabling Summit Accessibility Desk is in the conference level’s main lobby, next to the registration desk. It is staffed with team members who are there to answer questions, provide directions, and distribute accessible material. The Accessibility Desk will also host an American Sign Language team representative who can assess the request.
Accessible Conference and Hotel Center Tour

Indoor Orientation System
The RightHear app is free for Summit attendees on iOS and Android. It allows its Summit attendees to hear audible descriptions of the environment as they walk around the conference area. The app is available in 26 languages.
American Sign Language (ALS) Interpreters
The Summit provides on-site ASL interpreter services for all sessions. ASL interpreters will be available at the M-E Summit Accessibility Desk during event hours to support exhibit, networking, and social engagements during registration, breaks, and Showcase Area visits.

Receive free visual interpreter descriptions at the Summit during the general sessions in the Grand Ballroom using Aira. Aira is an app that connects persons who are blind or have low vision to professional visual interpreters for secure access to visual information anytime, anywhere using a geofence.

PowerPoint Documents
The Summit sessions are designed to be interactive, focusing on dialogue, discussion points, question & answers, and exchanges. Based on the format, we only allow presenters to use PowerPoint decks if the presenter (s) provide a keynote, lightning talk, or participate in a workshop/side event. A link to PowerPoints will be sent out to participants 24 hours before the events start and will be available one week after the end of the event.
