Is Your Website Accessible to Everyone?
What Every Hospitality Business MUST Know for ADA Compliance
Webinar: ADA Website Compliance
September 9, 2025 | 9:30 AM ET
Zoom Webinar
Your website is often the first point of contact and interaction that guests have with your business. Ensure it is not only welcoming but also accessible to all and meets legal requirements. In this presentation, we’ll break down what the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires for websites, what legal risks noncompliance can create, why hospitality businesses are increasingly being targeted with lawsuits, how courts are ruling on website accessibility, and the steps you can take now to protect your business.
This holiday season, the Space Coast Chapter is once again thrilled to spread joy and make a difference in the lives of teenagers in our community! We invite all attendees to join us in this heartwarming initiative by bringing a minimum $15.00 gift card from Amazon, Target, Walmart, or others. These thoughtful gifts will be given to teenagers who often go unsupported during the holidays, ensuring they feel the warmth and love of the season. Let’s come together to show these young individuals that they matter and deserve to be celebrated! Thank you for your generosity while enjoying the camaraderie of your peers.
