“Go through your facility and actually understand where your barriers are to people who may not be able to see or hear or walk or have an invisible disability. We want to make sure we promote such an inclusive environment from not only the guest room but all the way through all the amenities and features provided within that hospitality facility.” - Bill Botten, Accessibility Specialist 2024 ADAcon Speaker.

“A lot of times when we talk about accessibility, we only talk about the bare minimum: get you to your medical appointments, the ‘important stuff.’ But realistically, the important thing is that people with disabilities can experience all that life has to offer. And if I, as a physically-able bodied person can walk in and do anything I want on vacation, I want my colleagues who have different abilities physically to get in there, in the spaces.” - Jessica Homer, Attorney, Moxie Mediation and 2024 ADAcon Speaker.

"Many of us don’t travel because we’re afraid of what’s out there. We’re afraid of the barriers that people have put in place. I can’t tell you the nightmares that I’ve had when I go to get on a plane. When they go to ride my wheelchair away, I’m wondering if it’s going to come back the way I gave it to them. If I highlight the barriers and I don’t talk about anything else, then I’m just highlighting what most people already know. It’s not about people not knowing, they knowing, it’s about whether or not they want to help fix it.” - Emmanuel Jenkins, Community Relations Officer, The Delaware Developmental Disabilities Council, 2024 ADAcon Speaker.
