LEAD® Conference
The Leadership Exchange in Arts and Disability (LEAD) program advances the full inclusion of people with disabilities in arts and culture. The LEAD Conference not only introduces those new to the field to cultural accessibility solutions, but provides ongoing learning, support, camaraderie, and motivation—necessary fuel for anyone working to change the status quo.
Join us for:
- One-of-a-kind professional development in an intimate, rich atmosphere. No other conference focuses on accessibility in cultural venues like LEAD.
- Access to ideas, experts and leading thinkers. Tap into the collective “brain trust” of arts managers from museums, theaters, parks, zoos, libraries, and other cultural venues from around the world.
- Networking opportunities to meet and mingle with colleagues from around the world in an open and safe forum.
- Practical information that can be implemented at your organization right away.
- Something for every arts and cultural administrator. LEAD has sessions and workshops for the more experienced and those just starting their accessibility and inclusion journey.
- Experiential opportunities to see accessibility in action in cultural settings through workshops and special events.
- Year-round connections. Continue the conversations, ask questions and explore solutions after the conference through the Access/VSA International Network.
