Universal Access in Airports (UAIA) provides a unique opportunity for dialog among various stakeholders in the aviation industry.

  • Discover best practices and standards for Wayfinding and Signing
  • Learn effective techniques for security and emergency evacuation of people with disabilities and older travelers
  • Be informed about the new ADA guidelines and how businesses are incorporating Universal Design to improve access, increase customer satisfaction and enhance their bottom line

Who should attend: Airport administrators, airport facilities managers, airline executives, ground transportation operators, disability service coordinators, airport planners, airport safety and standards managers, airport traffic and operations engineers, airport architects, concessionaires, environmental graphic designers, and transportation-related government agencies.
