During this unique learning experience, Job Accommodation Network (JAN) consultants and other invited presenters will provide focused, concise answers to these and other questions that confront employers today. This symposium is designed for human resource managers, supervisors, and other professionals who have responsibility for the hiring and management of employees.

The training is appropriate for people who have beginning, intermediate, or advanced knowledge of work site accommodations and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) issues. Information will be presented on an intermediate level with training staff prepared to discuss at advanced or beginning levels as needed. Sessions will be highly interactive and include question and answer segments. In addition, there will be an "Ask the Consultant" booth in the registration/break area where participants can ask individual questions between sessions, during breaks and even during a session they choose not to attend. (Consultants not presenting will be available at the booth).

Vendors of accommodation products and services are being invited to have display booths at the Symposium.
