The AccessComputing Leadership Institute brings together leaders and emerging leaders in broadening participation in computing for persons with disabilities. The goals of the Institute are threefold:

1. share best practices and develop new ones that will help increase the number and success of persons with disabilities in computing fields,
2. share and learn about funding opportunities to bring these practices to the people who need them, and
3. help develop new leadership in broadening participation in computing for persons with disabilities

The institute will have a series of talks, panels, and discussion forums intended to meet the goals. Talks will highlight successful projects, panels will include students with disabilities to help inspire new approaches, and discussion forums will enable small groups to brainstorm about what can be done in the future. There will be a mixture of people at the workshop, some with vast experience in this area and other who have just expressed an interest in the area.
