About the Event

This forum will bring together legal experts, policy leaders, and state officials to explore the legal, administrative, and policy dimensions of the new ADA Title II web accessibility rule. The conversation will shed light on compliance timelines, interpretation of key provisions, implementation strategies, and accountability frameworks.

The session will include 45 minutes of expert presentations followed by 45 minutes of audience Q&A, allowing ample time for direct engagement with our speakers.

This session is particularly relevant for:

• People with disabilities and disability rights advocates
• State and local government agencies
• ADA coordinators
• Educational institutions and public libraries
• Organizations supporting or advising on disability policy

Featured Speakers

We are honored to welcome a distinguished panel of experts, including:

• Ashley Bloom, Chief Information Accessibility Officer, State of Massachusetts
• Andrew Drummond, Director of Accessibility, State of Maryland
• Eve Hill, Partner, Brown, Goldstein & Levy; Leading Civil Rights Attorney

Notably, both Massachusetts and Maryland are among the first states to appoint statewide web accessibility officers. Our speakers will share unique insights into their respective policy approaches, administrative innovations, and early implementation milestones.
