MidCamp 2025 Accessibility: Onsite A11y support
>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #3529905. --> Reported by: [andrewozone](https://www.drupal.org/user/3430095) >>> <p>For the event, we obtained 2 large monitors from DePaul to display live captions using <a href="https://lc.midcamp.org/">lc.midcamp.org</a>. These monitors were in rooms 314A and 314B. <a href="https://github.com/MidCamp/live-captioning">More information on Live Captioning can be found on Github</a>. </p> <p>Volunteers sat at the front of the room and used laptop computers to display live captioning on the monitors.</p> <p>Accessibility lanes were established on the floor with painters tape to help with the flow of foot traffic and to make access to the space more accessible.</p> <p>When attendees purchased tickets for the event, we allowed them to share if they had accessibility needs on the form. There were 2 requests this year for additional accommodations from attendees. All responses were followed up via email and addressed. We did have a handful of submissions that were discovered to be accidentally submitted.</p> <p>The following text was used to respond to requests via email.</p> <blockquote><p> Subject: MidCamp Request</p> <p>Hello, I'm on the accessibility team for Midcamp. You indicated on your registration that you have an accessibility request. Be assured that we take every request seriously and strive to have the most inclusive environment for everyone. Our aim is to listen and advocate for you. Please let me know how we can support you during your time at MidCamp this year.</p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Andrew Olson<br> MidCamp Volunteer </p></blockquote>
