Erin's talk was one of the ones I was most excited about and it didn't disappoint! Refreshing to hear a move away from negative lenses and how individuals were empowered by their disabilities. Really looking forward to more on appearance-functionality and reading this theme in more detail!

Those who register after the early bird rate ends pay a bit more which we hope to use to offset the costs of live translating the plenaries. (With further subsidy coming from elsewhere.) The goal has been maximum accessibility for the most people at the lowest cost.
