<h2>Advisors<a name="advisors"></a></h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>We acknowledge that our small team has limited perspective, and that to build a truly inclusive event, we need to seek the perspectives of a diverse range of people. We thank the following people and organizations for providing us with advice along the way.</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/vavroom">Nicolas Steenhout</a> is helping us with accessibility and inclusion of people with disabilities.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/vmbrasseur">VM (Vicky) Brasseur</a> is helping us run an excellent call for proposals, design our office hours program, and support new speakers with speaker training.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="https://twitter.com/sigje">Jennifer Davis</a> is helping us make the event accessible to parents by advising on things like childcare.</li>
