Accessibility
We are working to make the conference accessible, diverse and inclusive. We will have:
- wheelchair-accessible venues
- subtitles in the two largest rooms
- COVID air filters in some rooms
- a quiet room
- parts of the conference which can be joined online.
- we will have a team of volunteers on the day who can help out, for example with finding rooms
- to keep the event safe for everyone, we encourage all attendees to take a COVID test before coming, and to wear a mask if you are comfortable doing so
If you have accessibility needs, please let us know on the form when you book your ticket.
