According to Mary Ann Cummins-Prager, director of the Center on Disabilities, about 4,000 people visited the conference which was fully accessible to persons with special needs. For the first time, many of the attendees learned about AOL's AIM Relay Service, AOLbyPhone, AOL.com Portal and Streaming Closed Captions. The conference also showcased several products marketed for people with disabilities.
