Disclaimer
All measurements in these directions are approximate and have been calculated with a little guesswork and aren’t guaranteed to be accurate. I cannot guarantee that they are exact dimensions beyond a shadow of a doubt. These instructions were created for my last visit to the conference so there may have been changes in the last couple of years. I am hoping to have someone with a set of eyes verify these instructions shortly so check back before the conference.
My question is why isn’t this automatically produced for attendees and why isn’t it part of planning for an inclusive event? Hopefully some of you find this useful.
