In this paper, based on our understanding that “accessibility of information is the accessibility of participation”, we first list categorizations of exclusion to illustrate how participants can be excluded from full participation at academic meetings. We will then report the details of strategies The Japanese Society for Mother Tongue, Heritage Language, and Bilingual Education (MHB) has implemented to ensure information accessibility at its annual conferences, focusing on sign language interpretation and caption production together with the cost needed for such measures, and report what we have learned from our experiences as well as feedback from those participants who made use of these measures. In its concluding section, the paper explores which policies academic societies should adopt to enhance accessibility further. Significant considerations include sharing knowledge and experience across various academic communities and building frameworks for close collaboration with stakeholders who benefit from these services.
