Arrangements for Persons with Disabilities

APA strives to hold meetings that are accessible to all. Tell us what accommodations you require to make your participation more enjoyable. We suggest that people with disabilities make hotel reservations at Bally's Hotel, which is attached to the Events Center. If you are in a wheelchair and plan to attend mobile workshops, please contact APA before March 27. Call Julia Krol at 312-786-6738 or e-mail jkrol@planning.org.

Child Care

APA has just been notified that we are not permitted to provide child care services in any casino hotel which includes Bally's and Paris hotels. We do apologize for any inconvenience, and please understand that this provision is due to Clark County Child Care Regulations. However, licensed child care providers are permitted in your sleeping room and are available through the hotel by contacting the Paris/Bally/s concierge at 702-946-4433.

Again, we sincerely apologize for this inconvenience.

Environmental and Social Responsibility

APA is committed to environmental and social responsibility at the National Planning Conference.

We have partnered with Carbon Fund to offer conference attendees the option of offsetting the carbon emissions generated by their travel to the conference. Go to Carbon Fund's website, calculate the carbon emissions of your trips, and make a donation.

We use our website and e-mail to communicate with conference attendees and presenters and take other steps to reduce our use of paper.

• Our session proposal process and proposal review process are web-based.
• We invite presenters to post PowerPoint presentations online, and we make those presentations available to attendees after the conference.
• We encourage presenters to offer electronic handouts instead of hard copies — which has helped us reduce the copying of handouts by 20 percent!
• Manuals for presenters are entirely online.
• Attendees can browse the complete conference program online.
• Attendees can register online.
• We communicate with attendees almost exclusively via e-mail.
• Our post-conference attendee survey is web-based.
• We've eliminated the need for vouchers and tickets for the conference luncheon.

When we do print materials, we seek out environmentally friendly options.

• Soy-based ink for nametag printing
• Recycled paper for printed materials and nametags
• Waterless printing presses, which eliminate harmful chemicals normally used in the printing process

We seek out environmentally friendly transportation options.

• We choose hotels and conference centers in walkable areas.
• We inform attendees about transit options.
• When possible, we arrange biking and walking mobile workshops.

We donate leftover food to homeless shelters.

We're actively looking for more ways incorporate environmental and social responsibility into the National Planning Conference. If you have ideas, e-mail us at APAGreenTeam@planning.org.
