Morgan is resting her head on a pillow with a blanket covering her and she’s giving the peace sign, smiling. Above her is a black corgi who is looking at her very curiously and also seems to be watching the conference as well.

Excited for two full days of learning & networking at @gaconf.bsky.social!

This time I’ll be experiencing the #GAconf: Pregnancy Edition, fully horizontal. But thanks to the event being remote & supported via discord, I don’t miss a thing. Goes to show it’s the most accessible event in town 🥰♥️

How many game accessibility specialists does it take to change a lightbulb?

Why bother, according to that dude in the comments section less than 1% of people use lights.

The talk lineup for GAConf US is up!

Honestly can’t recommend this conference enough, regardless of how new or seasoned you are with games accessibility.

If you can go in person the value of meeting a11y folk can’t be understated. And I believe they offer free tickets if you’ve been laid off.
