Speaker
Description
The ongoing pandemic has exacerbated the isolation of people with disabilities, due to the loss of physical access to habilitation personnel and facilities. However, the elimination of business travel in favor of virtual meetings has simplified the participation of physically disabled scientists in the intellectual life of the particle physics community. In view of the imminent restart of in-person conferences, it behooves us to re-examine the accessibility standards for all our upcoming events. In this talk, I will give an overview of accessibility considerations for in-person scientific meetings and highlight a few suggestions for improvement, with the goal of making our community more inclusive, and our conferences more enjoyable for all attendees.
