With guidance from the city and state guidelines and based on current health trends and continuing improvement of public health and vaccination rates, the 2022 Disability Policy Seminar will be held in person in Washington, DC at the Renaissance Washington DC hotel.

We continue to understand your safety concerns. Therefore, in-person attendees will be required to be fully vaccinated (as defined by the CDC) and wear masks. A virtual option is available to those who are not vaccinated or are unable to travel to Washington, DC.

We will continue to provide updates as they become available.
