Accessibility and Inclusion

The American Statistical Association strives to foster accessible spaces during the Joint Statistical Meetings. Here’s what’s already part of our conference planning process:

• Keynote and plenary sessions have live captioning.
• Speakers use microphones for all sessions.
• Clearly marked reserved seating is available in every session room for wheelchairs/scooters.
• The ASA works with individuals who request accommodation (via JSM registration) based on their session selections.
• All conference facilities are accessible to wheelchair and scooter users.
• Elevators are marked, and staff can help you find elevators to navigate to your next session or meeting.
• Our hotel team works with attendees who need hotel accommodation.
• Attendees have access to a nursing/lactation room.
• There are all-gender restrooms.
• There is a quiet reflection space for those in need of a place to pray or take a respite from conference activity.
