Unlocking a Hidden Market: The Business Opportunity in Being Deaf-Friendly
Did you know that 20% of Minnesotans identify as Deaf or Hard of Hearing? This diverse group includes individuals who are sign-dependent, use sign-supported communication, or have experienced gradual hearing loss due to genetics, illness, or age. Join Micah Draeger of Bridge Interpreting Partners for an eye-opening presentation that explores how becoming more Deaf-friendly isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a smart business strategy. Learn practical ways your organization can increase accessibility, foster inclusivity, and tap into a large and loyal customer base that’s eager to engage with businesses that meet their needs.

Bring your business cards and your 60-second commercial! This is a great morning event to network and build relationships. A hot breakfast will be served.
