Accessibility at ACE! Conference

We want everyone to enjoy ACE and to learn to create better products and to build software better. In the past, we’ve had very few people with accessibility concerns at ACE, and we don’t know if that’s because we haven’t done enough to make ACE accessible, or because there are few people with disabilities in the agile community. ACE has always been held in a wheelchair accessible location. We have always encouraged our speakers and guests to let us know what we can do to make ACE a good experience for them. But this year we’re taking further steps, as a matter of principle, to show our commitment to making everyone welcome at ACE. But we can’t anticipate everyone’s needs, so please, let us know what we can do to make the ACE experience great for you.

Mobility

The ACE conference will take place in Multikino. The building and all of the rooms used by the conference are wheelchair accessible but guests using wheelchairs will have to sit in the front rows, as the cinemas have a ramp to the floor, but steps to most of the seating area. Each of the restrooms has a wheelchair accessible stall. The entire conference takes place inside of one building. There are parking spaces reserved for people with disabilities beside the building near a ramp on the side of the building leading to the front entrance. Visitors from outside of Kraków may choose to make travel arrangements through http://taxibuskrakow.com, which offers wheelchair-accessible taxis.

Support personnel

Guests who require assistance from a support person or animal are welcome to bring one support person at no additional charge. There will be a designated area outdoors for support animals to take breaks. If you require more than one support person, please get in touch with us. If you are bringing a support person or animal, please let us know in advance so that we can make them feel welcome.

Quiet space

There will be a designated quiet room. If a presentation includes video or sound, we will announce that fact in the program.

Food

There will two entrees offered each day. One will be vegan and gluten-free. There will be fruit in addition to bakery in the morning. If you have any other food allergies or other food-related requests, please let us know in advance.
