There are so many forms of accessibility to consider — this conference has only been able to proactively accommodate a few. Here, we will name these as well as the gaps in accessibility. 

What we will have: 

• All sessions will be hosted virtually on zoom. 
• All sessions will have the live auto-transcription enabled. 
• The website was built with the intention to have strong enough color contrast (though it could be improved) 
• Sessions are priced on a sliding scale. 

What we will not have:

• We will not have live ASL interpretation. 
• We have not trained facilitators to use simple language, or to ensure that their materials are shared ahead of time and accessibly made. 
• The conference will be conducted in English. There will not be built-in translation to other languages.

If you have questions about any accessibility concerns, you can reach out to clarissa@playbacknorthamerica.com. 

It is our intention to further develop our accountability to accessibility. In the mean time, we acknowledge our limitations and regret the impact these missed opportunities may have. 

The most likely reason that you cannot see your emails is because they were sorted into your spam folder or your promotions folder. 

If you cannot find them, you can contact clarissa@playbacknorthamerica.com for help.

Many of our community are striving to be in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, and specifically the Ukrainian Playback Community. To this end, we uplift the efforts of the PT Responds: Peace Please Solidarity Playback Festival. One show in our festival is also a part of this solidarity festival — you can find it here. The amount raised will be donated to the Playback school in Ukraine.
