arisiaAre you packing for the convention, and planning your weekend?
Arisia has resources for convention attendees. http://2014.arisia.org/Access
For the second year in a row, we will have a Quiet Room. If you are feeling overwhelmed by the convention, the noise and the lights, please come to room 402 and take a break. Note: the Quiet Room is a food free Space, and we will have extra facecloths and towels if you need a cool cloth.
Quiet room hours
Friday 4pm–8pm
Sat/Sun 10am–8pm
Monday 10am–2pm
We will have parking spaces for wheelchairs and mobies in all panel rooms, outlined in blue tape. If you would like seating in the front for the Masquerade, whether it is to see, to hear, or to read the CART transcription, or if you have trouble with long lines please email access@arisia.org come by the Info Desk. We can provide you with a sticker for the back of your badge, to help out the ushers.
Arisia is a bit spread out, and there is a lot of walking, over concrete floors. If you use a mobility aid, we strongly recommend that you bring it to the conventions.
We will be offering the Tactile Tours again this year. The Tactile tour of the Art Show will be at 4pm on Saturday, and is open to all attendees, though preferences is given to attendees with low vision. The Tactile Tour of the Masquerade will take place Sunday night, during the halftime show.
We will also have a limited number of Braille programs at the Info Desk, and we will have a Brailled Copy of the Restaurant Guide, Menus for the food trucks and other resources at the info desk. If you need electronic text for a screen reader or text to speech device, we will have reformatted publications on a thumb drive at the information desk.
We will have an Assistive listening system, for the Hard of hearing, and that will get it’s own post.
If you have any questions or concerns please email access@arisia.org
