Accessibility for Our Attendees
As a special education conference, we are committed to ensuring that every presentation is accessible and provides the best possible experience for all attendees. To support this goal, we ask our presenters to follow a few simple guidelines that enhance accessibility, such as using Alt Text, large fonts, clean design templates, and high-contrast colors. We will also provide helpful resources from the Special Education Service Agency and the Alaska Deafblind Project to support you in this effort.  

Presenters will be notified of their status by Friday, October 31, 2025. If you have any questions about the Call for Presenters process, please contact Lorell David at lorell@idoeventsak.com or by calling 907-222-2415. We look forward to having you share your knowledge and passion for special education in Alaska!
