The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) annual Convention is one of the largest professional development events in the field. Participants include audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; and speech-language pathology and audiology assistants. The Convention theme – “ELEVATE!” – reflects the goal that this year’s program will provide  the tools, strategies, and motivation they will need to elevate their practices and research across all aspects of speech, language, and hearing sciences.

The Annual Convention brings together approximately 15,000 attendees and offers more than 2,500 sessions, covering the latest research, clinical skills, and techniques in communication sciences and disorders.  Over 1,000 iPoster presentations were created.

iPoster authors earn CE Credits for either on-demand virtual-only presentations or 90-minute in-person presentations with Q&A’s.  To earn the credits, authors were required to to include 15 minute recorded narrations with AI transcripts, or video presentations with AI captions. Over 250 hours of this multimedia content are stored on our cloud servers. Content is streamed to both the conference venue in Seattle, and to virtual attendees around the world, during and after the meeting. The iPosters are available on any internet-connected device.

Accessibility is, of course, another key concern of ASHA. In addition to narrations, transcripts, and alt-text – we provide our ADA– and WCAG-compliant accessibility widget. It gives attendees full control over color, contrast, font size, line-spacing and other screen attributes in order to make the science and innovations available to all. Like ASHA, we are committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments for learning, sharing and career advancement.

We look forward to working with ASHA again on their 2025 Convention in November at the Washington DC Convention Center.
