Thank you for posting this and for letting me share it. I do plan on bringing some of the WisCon information, but I am also bringing parts of the Design of Accessibility handout from the NEA http://www.nea.gov/resources/accessibility/pubs/DesignAccessibility.html to try and facilitate the cultural shift, and remind people that Access is everyone's job from Hotel Search to Publications to Con Suite, and it works better (and is less effort) if you think about everyone from the start of planning the con, instead of just tacking on an Access person at the end. Arisia isn't WisCon, but we are trying... https://sites.google.com/site/sfaccessibility/
I hear you on the cultural shift, and incremental change, and I feel like WorldCon is such a hard case for this, because of the turnover in staff from year to year, with not a lot of overlap.
