About
The Canadian Accessibility Network’s inaugural Annual Business Meeting is taking place on December 2nd and 3rd, 2024, at Carleton University in Ottawa, hosted by the Accessibility Institute and CAN National Office. For CAN members unable to attend in person, we’re providing a hybrid option to ensure you can participate fully from wherever you are.
CAN members will have the opportunity to engage in productive business meetings and professional development sessions, as well as hear from leaders in accessibility with keynote speeches and panels. This event also offers a unique chance for members of our network to meet and interact directly, with numerous opportunities for networking built into the agenda.
Notably, this event coincides with the International Day for Persons with Disabilities and CAN’s five-year anniversary. It is a moment to celebrate the strides we have made together over the past five years in accessibility work and to set our sights on what lies ahead.
We look forward to seeing you in person and online!
