We're so excited to learn and share together during the HighEdWeb 2024 Accessibility Summit! Here is everything you need to know to get the most out of the day.
Jump to section:
The HighEdWeb 2024 Accessibility Summit will be live from 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM (UTC-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada) on Tuesday, July 30, 2024.
Access the event hub and adjust it to display in your time zone. Add events to “My Agenda” to create a personalized plan for the day!
The event hub requires attendees to log in. Everyone that's registered has a Swoogo event login, even if someone else registered you.
Don't know your password? No worries! Reset your password to gain access.
Please note: this login is distinct from your HighEdWeb Membership login. We call this your Swoogo Event Login. You can use this login across all our events in the Swoogo platform.
A few things to keep in mind during sessions:
- All sessions are pre-recorded to allow for video editing and captioniong.
- The keynote and track sessions are set to autoplay at the session start time, so attendees experience the session together.
- Ask questions of presenters in the session’s Q&A box.
- Connect with presenters and attendees through the session chat window.
- Visit the session after its time slot completes to watch it on demand. You'll have full video control.
- Posters are delivered on-demand. Hop between poster sessions during that time. You can watch each poster video on demand and chat with presenters.
As an attendee, you can access session replays via the event hub through Tuesday, August 13, 2024. Replays are available on demand after a session time slot ends. You'll have full video control.
HighEdWeb paid membership provides unlimited on-demand access to the summit recordings. The Professional Development Library includes all recordings from this event and other HighEdWeb conferences.

HighEdWeb does not issue credits directly. IAAP has pre-approved the Accessibility Summit for Continuing Accessibility Education Credits (CAEC).
To get the best experience in the Swoogo platform, we recommend using Chromium based browsers such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. We recommend always using the latest version of your chosen browser.
Mozilla Firefox or Safari can also provide good experiences; however, there can be times where there may be slight visual differentiations (video controls, web design, etc.)
Live event videos are closed captioned. Screen Readers may announce video captions when they appear visually on the screen. We suggest adjusting your screen reader settings to Speech on Demand in JAWS or adjust Verbosity Settings in VoiceOver.
HighEdWeb fosters an inclusive dialogue around existing and emerging topics in higher education. We welcome you, whoever you may be, to contribute and help our community grow. We respect our colleagues’ identities and work to create inclusive environments on and offline for people of all abilities.
We strive to reduce barriers to participation. If you feel that there is something preventing you from feeling fully included in our community’s events and spaces, please let us know.
The HighEdWeb community is awesome. And we want it to keep being awesome for everyone. As we look forward to a great summit, we want to remind everyone of what we know you already know: HighEdWeb is dedicated to working toward a harassment-free community and conference experience for everyone.
