This is amazing. I have ADHD with autistic traits, and struggle with busy large events because of the overload of information, masking efforts with so many new people, and sensory overload. I’m a tech writer for software and would love to attend your conference next time you run it.
I live in Scotland, in Glasgow, which is not far from Newcastle: it’s not often that good conferences happen near me!
Of interest, perhaps: I used to work in publishing and became friends with two authors who created an accessibility guide for people running publishing events. You can read their guide at: https://www.inklusionguide.org/ It might have some useful tips - although I appreciate the difference between literature events and digital events!
Best wishes to you both and hope to see the conference next year.
