AHEAD 2021 - Exhibit & Marketing

AHEAD Equity & Excellence Access in Higher Education

Welcome from Jane Johnston, AHEAD Manager of Member Services

Jane Johnston

Since 1977 AHEAD has been providing invaluable resources to professionals who work in disability services in higher education and beyond. AHEAD’s Annual Conference usually draws approximately 1100 attendees. This year due to COVID-19 we will be changing things up. We are expecting approximately 400 attendees onsite in Austin TX and approximately 600 Virtually. All attendees have the same goals and seek to gain knowledge about disability services in higher education. Accessible technology, improving accommodations, postsecondary transition tools, universal design, and legal updates are just a few of the topics our attendees pursue.

You’re invited to join us in our Virtual exhibit hall, do a 30-minute presentation, post your company information in the online directory for our 4000 members to view, sponsor a session…we invite you to be creative! Put your company or organization in the spotlight and leave a lasting impression on this important audience. Should your company be looking for onsite representation in Austin we are offering many Sponsorships and marketing options in addition to virtual sessions. Please contact me directly for this information.

Sincerely,
Jane Ayres Johnston
