What to expect on site

We require participants to adhere to our Code of Conduct. To report a problem, you can ask a volunteer to assist in finding an appropriate staff member. Staff are trained to manage a variety of requests. You can also email ONA Chief Knowledge Officer Trevor Knoblich, trevor@journalists.org.

  • Most, if not all, ONA Insights presentations are in English.
  • Some restrooms will be designated as all-gender; we’re determining locations with the hotel.
  • The conference room and our reserved common areas will have physical access lanes that are at least 3.5-feet wide.
  • Chairs in the conference rooms are armless.
  • Anyone can reserve a front-row seat or general space for their wheelchair/mobility device. You will be able to note this request in your registration form, or you can contact registration@journalists.org by Monday, Oct. 11.
  • We are happy to provide on-site ASL interpreters. You will be able to note this request in your registration form, or you can contact registration@journalists.org by Monday, Sept. 27.
  • We will provide transcription services for sessions we live stream.
  • Per the host hotel: “Service dogs are welcome for persons with disabilities.”
  • Because our focus is on the journalism community, who avidly document their experiences, we do not restrict photography; that said, we ask anyone taking photographs to be mindful of others and ask permission whenever possible.
