Empowering Disabilities: Join the Accessible Futures Event!

Join the Accessible Futures Conference!
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) wish to invite all individuals with disabilities from the Bay Area to participate in a meaningful event. The Accessible Futures Conference is set to take place soon, and is designed for those who want to share their experiences and learn about accessibility in various sectors such as transportation, housing, recreation, and employment.
Event Details and Registration
This engaging conference, titled Accessible Futures: Sharing. Listening. Learning, will be held at the Bay Area Metro Center. Attendees can join peers as well as local leaders who will address significant issues relating to the disability community. The event will be held over two days—on Monday and Tuesday—providing a fantastic opportunity for participants to connect and collaborate.
Free Participation
Advance registration is necessary, but the good news is, participation is completely free! However, please note that space for in-person attendance is limited, so it is important to register promptly. The cutoff for registration is approaching quickly, so don't delay! Online participation remains accessible throughout the event days.
Engaging Speakers and Entertainment
A highlight of the conference will be the keynote address by East Bay Congresswoman Lateefah Simon, who has been a champion for disability rights and inclusion. On the first day, attendees will enjoy lunchtime entertainment by comedian Jade Theiault, and on the second day, comedian Nina G will take the stage to keep spirits high. Complimentary meals will be served on both days, and there will be a delightful evening reception featuring drinks and hors d'oeuvres.
Help Shape the Conversation
The MTC and ABAG also encourage participation in an online survey. This survey aims to gather input on the topics that matter most to the disability community. Those who complete the survey will have a chance to win one of four exciting prizes: $250 gift cards! Completing the survey does not require attendance at the conference, allowing even those unable to attend to voice their insights.

For those seeking more details, the MTC website houses comprehensive information, including a detailed program agenda outline of events and activities. Inspiration and support are at the heart of the Accessible Futures Conference, and it seeks to empower attendees by fostering a dialogue on crucial issues affecting their lives.
