Thanks very much for these wonderful suggestions. I think the collection of guides would be fantastic inspiration. Please share when available!

I also will encourage the GAAT folks to reach out and collaborate with the AccessAbility SIG. I also will pass on the Philadelphia model.

Thanks again!

You might be interested in the concept of conference accessibility guides that the AccessAbility SIG in STC (Society for Technical Communication) has made for all conferences for the past 8 years. The latest one was made for the STC conference in May – in Atlanta at the Hyatt. We maintain our collection of guides at http://www.stc-access.org/the-conference-accessibility-guide/.
The links to the stc.org conference site are down now, but I have captured them as PDFs and will post to the archives (soon). Perhaps that information can inspire your group?

If anyone is interested in discussing this with the AccessAbility SIG, drop us a line on our Contact page. We plan to develop a basic template for future authors of these guides (what information is needed, how to capture the details. etc.). It would be lovely to encourage others to do the same. It would also be lovely to collaborate with others on this project.

As a recent visitor to your area, I can tell you that I’d encourage the Jackson-Hartfield International Airport to look at how the Philadelphia International Airport presents accessibility information. We used that last year for our 2008 conference.
