Accessibility
IPMI is committed to providing an outstanding experience for all participants. We strive for full access to the activities of these events based on an awareness of participants' needs and appropriate planning. Accessibility accommodations relating to mobility, hearing, vision, or other areas may be provided.
We ask that requests for reasonable accommodations be made as early as possible, and well in advance of the event via the registration process. Onsite requests will be accommodated to the best of our ability; however, available resources may be limited.
FOOD RESTRICTIONS AND ALLERGIES
We ensure that IPMI events offer vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free food options. Buffets will have menu labels items clearly indicating ingredients and/or accommodations. If you have a severe gluten allergy due to Celiacs Disease and will require specially prepared meals due to the risk of possible cross-contamination, someone will reach out to you prior to the event. Please include your food restrictions and specific allergies on your registration form.
HEARING
IPMI strives to ensure that our platforms and providers are accessible. Sound is available in each session room and speakers have been informed to use the available sound. Please include your needs on your registration form.
MOBILITY
If you need a wheelchair, please contact the Greater Columbus Convention Center Public Safety Department directly at (614) 827-2547. A member of their Public Safety Department will bring the wheelchair to you. We do ask that you exchange a photo ID for the wheelchair, which will be returned to you when you are done using the chair.
The Greater Columbus Convention also has electric scooters available to rent through the Pride Ride program. You can reserve a scooter by calling 614-827-2531 and paying by credit card. Staff can also provide a list of companies that rent electric wheelchairs if you wish. Please note advanced reservations are encouraged for scooters and/or wheelchairs.
