Keynote: Brett Miller with Butzel Long “Anatomy of an Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility Lawsuit: Transport services, service animals, scent sensitivities, and more”
An eye surgery practice recently had to pay a $1 million settlement after being sued by the Department of Justice for failing to provide transfer assistance to patients in wheelchairs and, instead, charged them for third-party transport and transfer assistance. Learn what rules govern providing assistance for mobility-impaired patients in your practice. In addition, this session will discuss other commonly misunderstood rules regarding ADA accessibility issues such as the rules surrounding service animals and “public accommodations” including a rise in claims relating to “scent sensitivity.” Even websites have been targets of ADA accessibility lawsuits for hearing or vision impaired individuals. Labor and employment attorney Brett Miller will discuss the rules practices should follow to avoid legal liability and answer questions from the audience.

Here are items of note for all exhibitors:
CLICK HERE FOR BOYNE SHIPPING INFORMATION – MASA will not have any packing materials available, so please come prepared.
Exhibitor times (booth must be manned):
Thursday, September 30th – 5:30 PM – 9:00 PM
Friday, October 1st – 7:00 AM – 9:15 AM
MASA GAMES to encourage vendor networking are listed in italics below. We do ask for your participation from your exhibit booth
Thursday, September 30th
Noon – 5:30 PM EXHIBITOR MOVE IN/SET UP – West Lobby Convention Center (entrance off downtown area across from ski lift) – ALL exhibitors MUST register at MASA desk for credentials and booth location prior to set up.
6:00 PM – 8:00 PM MASA Welcome Reception/Dinner & Exhibitor Spotlight
*MASA will provide registrants with a Treasure Hunt form (game). Each registrant will have to visit all exhibitor booths to have vendor sign form. Once form is complete, it will be turned into MASA registration desk for drawing to be held Friday morning. Food and beverage will be provided.
8:00 PM – 10:00 PM MASA FUN/AMAZING RACE
*Our registrants have signed up to participate in this game of clues being led by our Platinum Vendor members as team captains. We encourage our exhibitors to stay at the event and network with registrants not participating in the race. Food, beverage, and entertainment will be provided.
Friday, October 1st
7:00 AM – 8:00 AM MASA Exhibitor Breakfast
*We will be playing a NEW game for early risers – each vendor will be provided a card with a colored dot. We ask that you keep this card face down and only share with our registrants when they come to your booth. Each registrant will be given a colored dot to match to one of our MASA exhibitors and will win once they find their matching exhibitor and taking a picture, bringing to the MASA registration desk for prize. We have a host of technology give away prizes for the first 10 people to “match” their colored dot and number with an exhibitor. They will ask you to take a picture with them showing their winning card. It will be another opportunity for our exhibitors to speak with our registrants.
We do ask at 8:00 AM when our keynote starts that all conversation at your exhibit booth stop. There will be NO packing or moving out during the keynote as we are all in the same space and the noise will be a distraction to attendees.
8:00 AM – 8:45 AM Keynote Speaker – Gwen Kapcia “Positivity”
8:45 AM – 9:00 AM MASA Final Words & Exhibitor Prize Drawings
*Many of our exhibitors will be hosting a drawing at their table for a prize and require our registrants to complete a card or drop a business card. We will ask that at the end of our breakfast keynote, any exhibitor that had a drawing at their booth to come to the front of the stage and line up. We will allow you to come on stage, introduce yourself/company and draw your winner. We do ask that it is limited to name/company and a quick thank you and drawing as our timeline is tight. This will be another exposure to our registrants!
