Exhibitor Information

Any organization or higher education group is welcome to become an online exhibitor for the Disabled & Proud conference for a fee of $50.  During the conference, an "exhibit hall" will be available online 24/7.  On a specific schedule, exhibitors will be able to join chat rooms with conference participants, where they can answer questions, share additional information, or offer surveys/bonuses/drawings for participants joining the chat. 

Exhibitors may contribute any online materials, including links to organization websites, PowerPoints, videos, or handouts and posters available for download.  If you want to mail materials directly to students, please see the "sponsorship" information above.  DREAM does not share participants' contact information, but exhibitors may ask for that as part of their online "exhibit booth."


All exhibitor materials from exhibitors must be accessible to people with disabilities:
  • Videos must have closed captioning or English subtitles.  Audio description is encouraged but not required unless video has no sound or visual information is required to understand the video. 
  • Podcasts or audio material (like music) should also be transcribed.
  • All printed material must have a statement about how to get materials in alternate formats like large print or braille.
  • We encourage (but do not require) organizations to print materials in font that is 16pt. font or larger.
  • PowerPoints should also be available as a Word document.
  • PDFs should be readable by screen readers.
  • Websites should meet WCAG standards.
  • Photos should have alt text (if online) and/or image captions.
DREAM and the NCCSD reserve the right to remove inaccessible materials.  Need help making things accessible?  Contact us at DREAM@ahead.org for resources.

The deadline for exhibitor applications has been extended through September 17th!  Materials must be submitted to DREAM@ahead.org by September 24, 2018 and posted in online exhibit booths by October 1, 2018.  Exhibitors must also be available Friday, October 12, 2018, between 3:00-5:00pm EST to participate in online chats with students who have questions about your organization.
