Assembly 2020 Schedule

Below is the detailed schedule for the 2020 Access Assembly. Details about each session can be found here. Note that all times are in Eastern Daylight time! Please convert to your timezone accordingly.

Assembly session will take place via Zoom. If you don’t have a Zoom account, you might want to create one now. Otherwise, the first time that you click on a Zoom link, your computer should automatically download and set up Zoom.

We will be using a handful of Zoom rooms during the Assembly:

  • Main Room: for sessions that everyone will attend
  • Parallel Room 1, Parallel Room 2, and Parallel Room 3: Rooms for use during parallel sessions
  • Chill Room: A room available simply for people to chat/hangout without any official business

Additionally, each site will have it’s own room that it can use for check-ins, presenting posters, and whatever else it would like.
