2010 DISABILITY ACCESS
C O N F E R E N C E
"Design for All"
September 8, 2010
_________________________________________
Did you miss last year's Disability Access Conference?
Save the date this year!
The '2010 Disability Access Conference: Design for All'
is scheduled for Wednesday, September 8, 2010
at the Ala Moana Hotel. ________________________________________ This annual all-day conference provides ideas and solutions for providing access. It also helps architects, engineers and project managers keep up to date with the various accessibility guidelines and technical requirements.
"Design for All" reflects
designs that are inclusive and "people-centered"; they personify not
just
accessibility but the ability to create buildings and facilities that
respect
people of all ages and abilities, be they children, adults, seniors, or
those
with disabilities.
This year's full-day
conference will feature nine, 1-1/2 hour sessions and morning keynote by
the
U.S. Department of Justice and a luncheon keynote address by the U.S.
Access
Board. New
sessions will cover topics such as Medical Facilities, Retail &
Restaurants.
DCAB anticipates the issuance of the 'new' ADAAG
by the end of summer, along with the
new DOJ rules for Titles I & II of the ADA.
To the extent that information is public,
the conference will highlight the changes.
We'll keep
you updated when the Preliminary Conference Schedule gets posted on DCAB's website!
