Suggestion 3: @The_OAH prints accessibility best practices guide in the advance program, posts on conference website, and makes prominent in conference app. Your #OAH22 experiences? Other suggestions?
Suggestion 2: @The_OAH sends accessibility guide to chairs & speakers well in advance of conference (or posts it during CFP)
Suggestion 1: OAH Committee on Disability & Disability History works with @The_OAH on accessibility best practices guide for chairs and speakers (re: access copies, slides, mic use, etc.)

7. Not enough chairs at receptions (e.g., post-plenary Thursday evening reception assumed ppl could stand by end of long day. No cocktail tables and only a few chairs)
6. Not enough designated rest or sitting areas at conference venue
5. In-person chat sessions in crowded, loud exhibit hall = not easy to hear, especially those in masks
4. Most speakers assumed mic use = optional, whether in large and small rooms
3. Most speakers assumed masks on = best practice. Default assumption was audience = no lip readers, Deaf/HOH folks. But masks while speaking = muffled speech.
