Hi Shana,

If you have attendees that may be hearing impared, letting the hotel know of this may be helpful as there are items like a phone that's connected to the bedside lamp when it rings (did not know of this previously) that the hotel was able to setup for that attendee at no charge.  Mind you this was pre Covid but can't see why this accommodation would not be available now.

For sign language interpreters, I use to book 2 per attendee and provided the materials a few days prior so they were aware of the content.  I was informed to book two for an all day meeting as to accommodate breaks for the interpreter.  And I did put reserved seating closer to the front of the stage for the interpreters and attendee.

Hope this helps,
Jenn

Thanks, Jenn.
