One thing that bugs me with conferences (this is less of an sf/f conference thing and more of a general "conference" one) is how they discuss food.
Often I'll find a caption that says something like, "Alternatives for people with dietary restrictions will be provided." For those of us with food restrictions/anxiety ABOUT food restrictions, it'd be really helpful to know exactly what the options are, especially since so many conventions are held in hotels that are isolated from downtowns/places with other food options.
Sometimes people think they've "covered it all" by providing gluten-free options, peanut-free items, & some vegan stuff, but for someone like me (intense reflux), I'd still need to see a menu, & I suspect others would as well. Hotels usually have their menus online, so I'd suspect this wouldn't be a labor-intensive move for most conventions - you could just link, or tell people who to contact on your convention's team/who to contact at the hotel.
