A 10 story atrium with a stage backed up to a green wall of elevators, surrounded with trusses and framing holding around 60 televisions of assorted sizes and orientations, loosely collected around a main presentation screen.
On the main screen is a puppet of a white man in a shirt and tie being very excited.
Kicking off #a11yTOConf / #a11yTO day one with an impressive television display in the CBC atrium.
This year’s host is the puppet!

Line art drawing from Microsoft Inclusive Design guidelines, showing different disability types: permanent (one arm), temporary (arm injury), and situational (new parent).
Wasn’t planning to be a real-life demo of the 2nd person in this image while attending an accessibility conference, but here we are 😅
