A Guide to Planning Accessible Meetings

Accessible Presentation Area Set-Up

All presentation platforms must be accessible by ADA-compliant ramps (minimum 1” rise per 12” slope, with curbs or handrails on both sides of the ramp). The back edge of the platform should be placed against a wall to eliminate one edge where speakers could possibly fall off. Provide for a 5’ turning radius when presenters will be mobility device users to ensure adequate maneuvering space. Allow additional space for the interpreter for the Deaf and hard of hearing.
