Open Omaha is designed with accessibility in mind. The Open Omaha App and Event Guide have icons that indicate the level of accessibility for each venue. We asked venues to analyze their space and report back to us on elements of accessibility: ADA accessible routes, accessible bathrooms, accessible seating, and onsite parking. As a disclaimer, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of each site’s self-analysis of these features; all self-evaluations are subject to bias, misinterpretation of standards, or accidental inaccuracy. Omaha by Design as a nonprofit entity and as individual authors does not hold liability for the accessibility or inaccessibility of site participants for Open Omaha.
