Accessible Media, Web & Technology Conference. AHG offers the 

opportunity to attend over 60 sessions on the implementation 

and benefits of Assistive Technology and Accessible Media in 

the university, college, and business setting. There are 

currently many great airfare deals to Denver for the first 

half of November; the conference has moved to the beautiful 4

reasonable ($119 per night includes Internet & a $10 meal 

coupon), and exhibit fees are affordable ($490 includes
