Description
NeurIPS (Dec 2019) had a 50-minute panel discussion on disabilities in AI and how the conference could best meet those needs. I have transcribed the discussion here:

Some suggestions include:
- having a ramp at all times for stage access, rather than waiting for a request
- considering well-being at conferences
- providing quieter and less crowded poster sessions
- considering invisible illnesses more
- considering cognitive disabilities
