Just the ability to enter isn't what makes up inclusivity, especially for a conference.
It's about being as included, welcome and accommodated for as another group.
I remember an anecdote from a recent Kate Gregory (iirc) talk about the early days of C++ conferences, where it turned out the organizers just didn't think about renting woman's toilets, only men's toilets.
(Not to mention that this distinction is bullshit anyway, but that's a separate topic)
- themaninthedark 3y agoHow do you only rent 'mens' toilets? Port-a-potties usually aren't labeled, unless they are just urinals. Did the conference centers lock out the 'women' toilets? Most conference centers that I have been to don't have access doors to the restrooms, it is a u shaped freeflow walk in. This removes the bottleneck and cuts the cost of a door.
