Planned dates: March 7–12, 2027 (tentative), in Ann Arbor, Michigan. March 7: participant check-in only. March 8–12: main program. This page will provide confirmed travel, lodging, local transportation, access, and participation support details as they become available.

Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan. Dates: March 7–12, 2027 (tentative). March 7: participant check-in only. March 8–12: main program. Please wait for final confirmation of dates, venue, lodging, and transportation before booking travel.

What will appear here

One practical guide for the full participant journey.

Once the remaining arrangements are confirmed, this page will consolidate the information participants need instead of scattering it across emails and PDFs.

Venue and arrival

Confirmed address, nearest airports or stations, local transit, shuttle arrangements, arrival windows, and on-site navigation.

Lodging and support

Covered dates, booking process, reimbursement guidance, meals, accompanying-family policy, and participant costs.

Access and inclusion

Step-free access, mobility, sensory conditions, dietary planning, rest spaces, captions, materials, and confidential request channels.

Accessibility approach

Access needs belong in event design.

The organizing team intends to gather access requirements through an approved private form and to communicate what the venue and program can support before participants commit to travel.

Public pages and core program information will be available in accessible HTML. Videos selected for release should include captions, and important recordings should include transcripts where feasible. PDF files will not be the only source for essential information.
