Safety and accessibility

We’re committed to creating a safe and accessible experience for everyone who comes to the NTC.

As a community, we respect and protect one another. Whether you attend in Baltimore or virtually, there are many ways we’re making NTC safe and accessible for all.

Code of conduct

We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment in any form. NTC attendees, speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors must follow NTEN’s code of conduct during the NTC.

Health and safety

NTEN is committed to producing a healthy and safe event, with the understanding that there is no way to eliminate all risk. Masks and vaccination are requested, but not required in the convention center. Attendees participate at their own risk. If you’re unable to attend in Baltimore, we provide a virtual NTC experience.

Accessibility

The NTC aims to be inclusive and accessible to everyone. The accessibility guide has details about in-person and virtual accessibility, as well as tips on how to be an ally. Just about everyone will find something useful in the guide — there’s information about dietary needs, childcare, gender-inclusive restrooms, quiet spaces, visual and hearing accessibility, and more.

After you register for the NTC, you can provide 25NTC accessibility & dietary needs in your NTEN profile. Please note that these fields are only visible for community members with a 25NTC registration so are not available until you are registered. Requests for support related to accessibility and childcare must be received by March 17, and NTEN will make every effort to accommodate them.

Accessibility features orientation call

On Wednesday, April 9, 10:00 am–11:00 am PT, you’re invited to the accessibility features orientation call. It’s a helpful opportunity to gather information and get focused before the hubbub of the conference begins. You’ll get a tour of accessibility features built into the in-person and virtual NTC experiences, including the conference platform. No RSVP needed. Just join the Zoom meeting.
