@celiastampslf Thank you for being patient. We have upgraded to v2.0 now, which brings one change to the checklist.

[Dhruv-Sachdev1313]

@celiastampslf Thank you for the submission !!

I had a question - Is there some kind of process where you take feedback from Speakers and Attendees about D&I during or after the conference, to better understand inclusivity from their perspective ?

Looking forward to your response.

Hi @celiastampslf! These applications are awesome! Thanks so much.

I have one question/comment and a follow-up with the question from @Dhruv-Sachdev1313

Question/Comment:

For the registration, I'm guessing the registration form that I see for attendees is similar for speakers. I think that the registration link I followed on the web page is only for attendees. I could have missed the attendee/speaker distinction. In the registration, I really liked the additional information boxes that appear in association with the: Do you identify as a person of color? question. Could you provide a similar approach with: What gender do you identify with? If they select Other Gender Identity, they are given additional information boxes. Such an option could be built from the excellent work found at: https://github.com/drnikki/open-demographics/blob/master/doc-source/questions/gender.rst

Follow-up Question:

I see that the collect feedback information is provided. This is great. Thank you for that. It could be nice to encourage people to see that section of the page throughout the conference. Just helping people know that this resource is there during the conference.

Thanks again!

[celiastampslf]

@germonprez Thanks for following up! To answer your questions:

• Yes, the registration form for speakers is nearly identical to the form for attendees and is hidden via a separate link. The only piece of information that's different on the speaker registration form is that we ask for their cell phone number in case we need to reach them the day of the event.
• I like the idea of including an open text answer box if Other Gender Identity is selected. I will provide this feedback to our team and see if we can have that updated across the board. Thanks for the recommendation!
• Regarding D&I feedback collection, we can definitely make sure attendees see this section of the page throughout the conference. We are also planning to include a D&I feedback question on our post-event survey.

Thanks again!

[germonprez]

Thanks @celiastampslf this is super helpful! I've updated the score based on this feedback. If you are able to update the Other Gender Identity question, could you let us know? That would be great.

Thanks again!!

[Dhruv-Sachdev1313]

@celiastampslf Thanks for the answers !!! I have also updated the score and good luck for the event !!

[celiastampslf]

Thank you both! I'll wait for the badge level to be generated and let you know if there are any questions.

[Nebrethar]

@celiastampslf I am going to go ahead and generate the badge 😁 Thanks!!
