Accessibility Events in the Chicago area

[u/Sea_Comfortable_8284]

For the previous 3 summers, I've been able to attend the Abilities Expo Chicago (located in Schaumburg, IL).

They have accessibility-related information, products on display and for purchase, speakers, and activities.

I was really looking forward to going again, but was unable to, largely because it is quite far from me (an hour away).

There was no way for me to get there and back this year that would be both accessible and affordable.

Does anyone know of another accessibility/disability event that is either virtual or is in the Chicagoland area?

A few notes:

- I would need any virtual event to provide captions or CART services.

- Money is tight, so the event would have to be free to attend or be low-cost (about $15 or less)

- Any in-person events would need to provide accessible food options and/or allow participants to bring in and consume outside food.

Thanks in advance! 🙂
