Planning Accessible Temporary Events

Street festivals, craft fairs, music events, state and county fairs, regattas, book fairs, air shows, sports tournaments, parades and political rallies are just a few of the many temporary events that take place every day in communities throughout the nation. This session will focus on the application of the general non-discrimination requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to both indoor and outdoor temporary events as well as the obligation for the venues/facilities being used to comply with the 2010 ADA standards. In addition, the presenters will highlight a new online resource available from the ADA National Network, "A Planning Guide for Making Temporary Events Accessible to People With Disabilities," and strategies for insuring access for all persons.

Speakers: Peter Berg, Technical Assistance Coordinator, Great Lakes ADA Center; Rob Gilkerson, Architectural Information Specialist, Rocky Mountain ADA Center; Jennifer Lin Perry, Access Specialist, Northeast ADA Center
