All-inclusive, zero exceptions at J-Fall
We all contribute to making J-Fall a respectful, safe, and welcoming conference for everyone. To enhance that inclusive spirit, we’ve added a few helpful touches:
- Preferred forms of address– Indicate how you’d like to be addressed on your name sticker, and respect everyone’s choice
- Quiet room – A sensory-friendly space to help calm an overstimulated mind. Please respect the quiet spirit there.
