Time: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Location: Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse, Lincoln Center, 165 West 65th Street, New York, NY 10023 (at the corner of Amsterdam Avenue and 65th Street)

Get ready for an entertaining and eye-opening conversation that puts accessibility in the spotlight!

Join Lighthouse Guild at Lincoln Center’s stunning Stanley H. Kaplan Penthouse for an evening of lively conversation with blind professionals working across the entertainment industry. Together, we’ll explore how accessibility is changing the way we create, experience, and share stories — from film, television, and theater to social media and beyond.

After the discussion, stick around for a networking reception with light refreshments, wine, and a chance to connect with the community.

Whether you work in entertainment, care about accessibility, or simply love great conversations, you’ll leave with fresh perspectives, new connections, and a deeper understanding of why accessible entertainment benefits everyone.

Space is limited, and advance registration is required. 

Reserve your spot today and join us for an evening of conversation, community, and technology.
