This builds on previous recommendations we had for making events accessible for people with visual impairments. Following discussions with Liz Hare, I've added

  • further tips for conference organizers
  • advice for presenters (split out into speakers, tutors and flash poster presenters)
  • feedback on the website/app used to communicate the useR! 2019 schedule

There is much that still needs to be completed following further discussion and testing, I thought that making a pull request might make it easier for people to comment on specific parts and suggest concrete changes.

Things to add (feedback from useR! surveys):

  • quiet space (that people can find!)
  • seating in break areas
  • tables for eating food

Another point from Liz: if mobile app and/or website schedule not accessible, at least provide plain text file or other format (.csv?) that would be easier to navigate.
