Overview of the ASSETS 2016 conference

This year was the 18th edition of the ACM SIGACCESS International Conference on Computers and Accessibility (ASSETS 2016)1, which took place in October in Reno, Nevada, USA. The ASSETS conference is the premier computing research conference exploring the design, evaluation, and use of computing and information technologies to benefit people with disabilities and older adults. We set a new attendance record for ASSETS, with 173 participants from across the globe. In addition to a rich technical program, an increase in industrial sponsorship allowed the conference to support several receptions, including an event at the National Automobile Museum in Reno.
