Accessibility
FOSS@MAGIC is committed to hosting a conference available to everyone. The conference hall and stage are fully wheelchair accessible. Speakers are encouraged to use their own computers to present, although we’ll also have spares on hand. We do our best to make the conference as accessible as possible for our attendees in a variety of ways (live ASL interpretation, gender-neutral restrooms, quiet spaces, etc). Please don’t hesitate to let us know, what we can do to make your attendance more comfortable.
