UNIVERSAL DESIGN & ADA COMPLIANCE

November 11, 2020 | John S. Knight Center, Akron Ohio

Attendee Registration

For the past 22 years, the Akron-Canton Chapter of CSI has brought northeastern Ohio the area's largest construction related product and technology show. Attendees consist of architects, engineers, facility managers, specification writers, and product representatives of over sixty different firms or companies, all of whom are involved in sustaining the built environment.

CSI and IIBEC hope to see you at our upcoming socially-distant ProductFest on November 11th. This year, Akron-Canton CSI is excited to welcome the Ohio Valley Chapter of IIBEC (International Institute of Building Enclosure Consultants) as a co-host, and will be providing additional educational opportunities. Our theme of the day is ADA and Universal Design, with the keynote presentation "ADA Design Mistakes, Required Standards and How to Avoid the Dreaded Lawsuit?". This program will discuss what ADA Standards should be used, common ADA violations, what the future holds for increased accessibility and case studies.

Your safety is our main concern, and we hope you feel comfortable in joining us.

To ensure your safety, masks will be required throughout the event, and we have worked with the John S. Knight Center to ensure extra hand sanitization stations, increased space between vendors and in classrooms, as well as individually served meals for all food provided.

To ensure the safety of all attendees and vendors, please register using the link below. Registering early ensures we plan for enough indoor space.
