Abstract	Creating accessible events is a pressing issue for many music organisations. In the United States, the term accessibility has strong ties to disability, and it is an important concept because what is deemed accessible directly impacts who is included and excluded from music experiences. Music Community Lab (MCL) runs a series of events in New York City called "Monthly Music Hackathon NYC." They aim to promote 'diversity across backgrounds, perspectives, and abilities'. This instrumental case study sought to examine how MCL participants conceptualise accessibility as well as analyze participants' suggestions for improving the accessibility of MCL events. Sixty-two people who attended one of three MCL events completed a demographic survey and 57 of those respondents participated in an interview. Findings reveal that 63% (n = 36) of participants associated accessibility with inclusivity and 35% (n = 20) of participants associated accessibility with ease of access to resources, places, and experiences. Participants' suggestions for improving accessibility included social media marketing (n = 23; 40%) and ease of access approaches (n = 11; 19%) including CART, ASL, and live streaming events. Accessibility is challenging for community music groups like MCL to navigate because it is a complex construct with varied interpretations. (As Provided).
