Provisional Team Members
Organisation for WHY2025 is starting to ramp up. We would love to have some more team members so we can make this the most accessible event ever. So if you know anything about accessibility, inclusivity, D&I or just making events work that bit more smoothly please get in touch! Everything from WCAG expetise, to planning transport, on site signage, AV induction loops, you name it, we need your input! Therefore, we are collecting names of those interested in being involved in Team:Accessibility with the intention of arranging a 'kick off' meeting.
Projects
This will contain a list of the work we are doing, who is leading and which other teams are involved. It is a living list and will grow and change over time. If you can think of something we should be doing, please get in touch!
