Information and communication before and during the conference

All communication during the conference will be offered digitally through the official conference app and website. Please note that no printed materials will be distributed, including black-and-white prints. As a result, braille materials will not be available either.  Speakers are encouraged to make their presentations available in advance as accessible PDFs via the app. This allows you to prepare for the sessions ahead of time.
