Equal Opportunity Forum Recap
 
OEO hosted an informative and impactful Equal Opportunity Forum on Nov. 18! The event had a great turnout, and attendees experienced a combination of presentations, interactive workshops and panel discussions throughout the day, as well as experiencing methods on how to host an accessible event. A recording of the forum’s keynote presentation and plenary session — which both focused on digital accessibility — is available.
