Furthering our commitment to universally accessible design and development, IACET’s Neuroinclusion in CE/T Symposium brings together thought leaders, innovators, researchers, and advocates to promote best practice in neuroinclusive design.
Attendees will join peers and thought leaders across a global, hybrid environment as we explore universal approaches to neuroinclusive design; discuss the evolution of the social, medical, and legal models of disability related to neurodivergence; and explore best practices in universal alignment to create a world that learns better.
Explore how you can empower inclusive learning environments at the first of two IACET Accessibility Symposium, leveraging real-time best practice built upon handouts, templates, job aids, and guidelines, all designed to be implemented the day you return to the office!

Nestled in the heart of downtown Memphis, Tennessee, the Westin Memphis Beale Street provides a front-row seat to the vibrant energy of one of America's most iconic music and cultural destinations. Memphis is a city rich in history, rhythm, and soul, offering a wide array of activities that will captivate any visitor.
Just steps from the hotel, you'll find Beale Street, the legendary home of the blues. This lively street is filled with world-class live music venues, eclectic eateries, and historic landmarks, creating an unforgettable atmosphere for both music lovers and food enthusiasts. Savor authentic Memphis BBQ at renowned spots like The Rendezvous or Central BBQ, where slow-cooked ribs and savory pulled pork sandwiches have earned a devoted following.
For those interested in music history, Graceland, the famed home of Elvis Presley, is a short drive away and offers an intimate look at the life of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. Equally captivating is the Stax Museum of American Soul Music, a tribute to the artists and legacy of Stax Records, which helped define soul music worldwide.
Memphis also holds deep historical significance. The National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel—where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was tragically assassinated—provides a powerful and immersive journey through the struggle for civil rights in America.
Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the scenic Mississippi Riverfront, home to Tom Lee Park and Big River Crossing, the longest pedestrian bridge across the Mississippi. With so much to experience, Memphis promises a rich blend of culture, history, and entertainment that makes it the perfect backdrop for our symposium.
