Calling All Accessibility Advocates

Join SCAC on Thursday, October 16 from 9-4 pm at the Wyncote NW Forum at Town Hall Seattle for the 3rd annual Deep Dive Day conference to power up your accessibility skills! Due to overwhelming response from our community, we've expanded to a new, larger venue and extended the program to a full day of learning and connection. This enhanced format will allow us to accommodate more attendees and dive deeper into the topics that matter most to our accessibility community. This active learning opportunity will cover these important accessibility topics:

• Building Bridges: Securing Buy-In for Accessibility in Arts Organizations
• Lived Experience: Perspectives from the Disabled Community
• An Equity Approach to Uplifting Disabled Voices
• Reimagining a Relational Future: There Is No Me Without We

Each topic will be led by experts in the field, with the goal to provide practical tools that cultural professionals can apply to their accessibility strategies. See full agenda and speaker information at https://www.seattlecac.org/deep-dive-day-2025.

Lunch will be provided.

Tickets: Tickets cost $55.20 (includes fees and lunch) and REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED by October 12th. We want all folks interested in making accessibility a priority in your arts or cultural organization to attend. If cost is a barrier to your participation, please contact seattlecac@gmail.com.
