LEAD Conference Share Out 2024

23 humans are seated around a long table on a patio outside a coffee shop. We're smiling broadly towards the camera.

Event Description: Are you interested in learning about accessibility in cultural spaces and how to make experiences more inclusive? Are you responsible for creating or supporting programs, services, or outreach at your organization? Then join us to learn more about this year’s LEAD experience! The Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability (LEAD) conference is an annual event presented by the Kennedy Center focused on building knowledge and networks for cultural workers. Representatives from the Collab and across Illinois will share highlights from their focus areas and lead a live discussion with our arts and culture accessibility community. Come for the best practice takeaways and bring your questions about LEAD!
