Thank you for your kind words! I have been working on Arisia for a couple of years now (and am on Arisia 2014) and I am working on Readercon (with a colleague) this year. We'll have an Arisia 2014 Access Services webpage up in a few weeks, I hope. I have been striving to improve our accommodations every year, and find ways to accommodate all attendees, with very minimal need for people to disclose to anyone that they have a disability.
Last year's innovation was some serious outreach in the Deaf and hard of hearing community, and we did get some attendees, but our inability to cover the full convention (which is pretty much 24 hours) did result in some disappointment. I am hoping to do a little better this year.
This year, I am focusing on seating and line management for big events, which I expect to be challenging, even though we have only a very few large events.

I am open to feedback (and braced for it...)
