What is Team:Accessibility?
We are the team that spans a bit of everything, trying to make WHY2025 the most inclusive and accessible hacker festival yet. Covering everything from working with the web teams to ensure accessible information, to the transport team to make sure you know where you are going, the Team: Productiehuis to make sure talks can be seen, heard, read and understood by everyone and of course with Team:Cohesion to make sure everything goes right!

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.
