We're so excited to be partnering with @manycatsstudios.bsky.social!

Many Cats are a studio all about disability inclusion and accessibility in games, and the team is amazing. They're also giving a talk at @gaconf.bsky.social about their journey and being a great consultant later this month. 💜

A bright, open plan room with tables and chairs, and projector at the back where a speaker is giving a talk. There are many attendees including people in wheelchairs and with service dogs. BSL interpretation is streamed on a second screen, and smaller TVs mounted on the ceiling show the talk and BSL.

That’s a wrap! Today was a fantastic conference. Thank you so much to our sponsors, speakers, volunteers, BSL and attendees. We will take a short break before uploading talks to YouTube and posting more photos, but for now just a huge, heartfelt thank you.
