DA Global is committed to hosting events in diverse locations to broaden access and representation. We intentionally rotate host cities to reach different regions, including metropolitan, rural, and suburban areas, with a focus on inclusivity—even in places where state laws or environments may not reflect our values. Our goal is to bring visibility, connection, and community to educators and students across the U.S.

We prioritize partnering with locally owned businesses for event services (e.g., printing, photography, off-site venues) and invite local leaders and organizations focused on student success to participate. Sessions often include region-specific dialogue and perspectives.

DA Global follows federal, state, and local health guidelines. We encourage participants to stay informed on public health recommendations and take precautions based on personal needs. Respecting others' comfort in shared spaces (e.g., regarding physical contact) is part of our community care approach.

All participants—attendees, speakers, staff, vendors, volunteers—must uphold an inclusive, respectful environment. Discrimination or harassment based on identity, background, or belief will not be tolerated. Key values include:

• Respectful engagement – listen actively, embrace multiple perspectives
  
• Challenge by choice – engage at your comfort level in difficult discussions
• Shared space etiquette – communicate your boundaries (e.g., handshakes, hugs), and respect others’ space

DA Global Access Network is committed to creating an inclusive experience for all participants. We welcome requests for accommodations to support your participation to be sent to [email protected] .Please indicate any specific needs and a member of our team will follow up to explore available options. We encourage you to reach out prior to registration to consult available resources. Please note that location of the event venue will greatly influence the feasibility of some requests.
