Join us for this dynamic hybrid conference, taking place September 23–25, 2026, in person at the Renaissance Hotel in Toledo, Ohio, or online from anywhere. Submit your proposal today at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=usetda2026. We can’t wait to see what you’ll share!

ETD Formatting Users’ Group, May Edition

Join us for the May session of the Formatting Users’ Group, which will take place at 2:00 p.m. ET on Wednesday, May 13, 2026. In this installation, we’ll be talking about Accessibility in formatting, particularly since the ADA Title II deadline has been extended to April 26, 2027. Where are you in that process? If you’re completely done, what tips can you share? If you’re just starting, what are your concerns?

To participate in user group discussions, you should complete this form. If you have questions, please contact Sally Evans at sevans13@gmu.edu.
