We’re all a little tired, a little slow, a little more burned out this year. Our social events acknowledge this and are designed to be more relaxed. Check out our after-session programming for some fun socializing or just join in for some relatively passive participation for the first five minutes of every break this week.

MONDAY

• 11:45–12:00 pm (PDT) / 2:45-3:00 pm (EDT) – Break programming – Join us for a sloth viewing! We will be live-streaming a live-stream of a webcam in a sloth sanctuary.
• 1:30 pm (PDT) / 4:30 pm (EDT) – Opening Reception – Join us in Gather.town to say hello and reconnect with your Access fam. The Gather.town space will also be open throughout the conference.
