Posting on behalf of Nina Levent, Executive Director, Art Beyond Sight 
Institute [director at artbeyondsight.org] I'll be speaking in the afternoon 
session about crowdsourcing for mobile accessibility, alongside lots of other 
colleagues from the cultural sector, including Piotr Adamczyk. :-) 

Full program: http://www.artbeyondsight.org/mei/391-2/

Art Beyond Sight, one of the nation?s leading arts service organizations for 
people with disabilities, is hosting the first-ever Project Access New York 
City: Best Practices for Inclusion in the Arts symposium at the Museum of 
Modern Art on Thursday, May 2, 2013.

Presented with support from the Mayor?s Office for People with Disabilities 
(MOPD) and the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA), the day-long symposium 
will highlight best practices for
arts groups to serve disabled audiences by presenting an update on the 
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as well as presentations about new 
technologies and innovative programming to serve these vital audiences.

The forum has been divided into two sessions. In the morning, executive 
leadership and board members are invited to hear a discussion, including the US 
Attorney?s Office, on the ADA and its impact on cultural
organizations. The morning session will also inform arts leaders about the 
changing demographics of people with disabilities in New York City, and 
innovative programs at organizations across all arts disciplines. To attend the 
morning session, please RSVP at rsvp at culture.nyc.gov by Friday, April 26 and 
include ?Session 1? in the subject line.

While there will be some overlap in the morning and afternoon session topics, 
the latter part of the day should be especially beneficial for cultural 
organization staff members working in education, visitor services, marketing 
and digital media. Topics include marketing to people with disabilities, and 
updates on the newest technological developments that are improving access to 
facilities and arts programming. To attend the morning session, please RSVP at 
rsvp at culture.nyc.gov by Friday, April 26 and include ?Session 2? in the 
subject line.


Hoping to see you there,
Nancy
