ADA Title II and You
Thursday August 21, 2025 10:00am - 11:00am CDT
In April 2024, the Department of Justice finalized long-awaited updates to Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act, setting specific standards for the accessibility of websites, applications, and digital documents.

From Spreadsheets and Silos to Data-Driven Efficiency
Thursday August 21, 2025 12:30pm - 2:30pm CDT
From Spreadsheets and Silos to Data-Driven Efficiency is a compelling case study in business transformation. If your organization is grappling with scattered data, clunky workflows, and inefficient systems that limit your growth, this session is for you.

Join us to learn how one organization shifted from using dozens of disconnected tools, documents, and manual processes to a centralized, integrated, and scalable custom business solution. By leveraging technology to unify operations, they unlocked major time savings, improved staff productivity, and positioned themselves for growth.

We’ll walk you through the practical steps of evaluating your business systems, identifying where your team’s time is being wasted, and how to prioritize what to fix first. You’ll also see how low-code platforms and smart integrations (APIs) can help build a “single source of truth” that reduces friction across departments—without needing a huge tech team or budget.

Whether you're an early-stage startup or a more established organization looking to scale, this session offers actionable insights for building a smarter, more efficient business foundation.
