Kes: If anyone wants to know how to run an accessible virtual conference, you should follow this conference, beginning from their pre-registration phase because, as far as accessibility and assistive tech is concerned, this is the most impressive virtual conference going. I’ve attended both of the previous virtual conferences, and I’m always excited to find out who they line up as
Speakers

and what the panels are, because they definitely follow through on discussing cutting edge topics in assistive tech. Their main page also has the following statement:
"Nothing about us without us
All sessions will include the guidance and participation by people who are blind or visually impaired."

From the announcement email:

It's time to register for the third annual Sight Tech Global conference, which takes place entirely online in a highly accessible format on
December 7 and 8.

Here is another device which potentially serves as an assistive tech for blind people, a useful technology for astronautts, and a technology which could add another layer to virtual reality. Seriously, that Venom suit is sounding kind of...spiffy.
