The Hands Up Conference

The primary language of communication at the Hands Up Conference is American Sign Language (ASL). Workshops and presentations will be conducted in ASL with no voice interpretations. Please make your best effort to communicate in sign language in all training rooms, exhibit/vendor areas, in the hotel lobby and other common areas. The Fledgling Conference track has different communication expectations, but we would ask fledgling attendees to try their best. If necessary, feel free to use spoken English in The Florida Mall and outside the hotel. We ask that all conference attendees strive to respect d/Deaf space.
