Is your facility servicing all Americans? This first-ever conference taking place at McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago challenges fitness and wellness practitioners to learn about creating and executing a plan of action to make your facility accessible to all. Presentations will be on a wide variety of topics, including fitness techniques, exercise science, recreation, sports, assistive technology, programming, health promotion, evidence-based practice, wellness, and more.
