Accessibility Guidance

In order for the workshop to be accessible to everyone, we ask that you follow these guidelines when submitting your paper or lightning talk:

• allow for non-native English speakers by using simple language
• allow for colour blind people by
  • not using conflicting colours - particularly red/green or blue/orange
  • not using colour as the sole indicator of importance (e.g. also have some numbered scale)
  • choosing colours from a colourblind-friendly palette
• avoid excessive use of animation
• allow for sight impairment and use of screen readers by
  • using uncluttered backgrounds
  • appropriately sizing text, especially on images
  • adding ALT-TEXT behind diagrams and images (for presentations that will be available online)
  • adding a unique title for each slide
  • use sufficient contrast between text and background colours
• use simple table structures with clear headings
• use larger font sizes and sufficient white space
• avoid adding too much content per slide or making slides busy
• videos should be made accessible to visually-impaired and hearing-impaired persons
