Planning an Accessible Agenda
Considerations for Planning Your Agenda
When planning your agenda, keep in mind that typical conference start times – for example 8 AM – may prove too early for people with disabilities. Instead, consider having your meeting begin at 9 AM with your continental breakfast beginning at 8 AM. This will provide enough time for people to get downstairs, register, and navigate the breakfast buffet prior to the official start time of the meeting. Additionally, you should also allow time in your agenda for lengthier breaks. The typical 10–15 minute break is not enough time for people with certain types of disabilities. A more reasonable break time is 30 minutes.
