Join us October 22, 2025 at 2:00pm EDT for NEMA's next installment of our EMpowerment e-Learning series.

As global-scale events—from international sports tournaments to political summits and cultural festivals—continue to grow in size and complexity, ensuring accessibility for individuals with access and functional needs (AFN) is not just a compliance issue—it’s a critical component of effective emergency management and public safety planning.

 

Join us for a dynamic and practical webinar explicitly designed for emergency management professionals and their key partners. This session will explore how to integrate inclusive strategies into the planning and operational framework for large-scale events hosted in major venues. Learn who to collaborate with—from disability advocates to venue operators and security officials—what essential considerations must be addressed, and how these planning efforts enhance overall safety, resilience, and public confidence. This is a must-attend session for anyone involved in event safety, public health, emergency response, venue operations, or accessibility advocacy.

 

Speakers:

Dawn Brantley, Director, Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency

L. Vance Taylor, Chief, Office of Access and Functional Needs, California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services

Registration (hyperlink) is required. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. We look forward to seeing you October 22!
