Acknowledgements
Many in the GA-SIG and other organisations have worked hard for game accessbility at GDC 2015, and as it is hard to keep track I rather make this collective big thank you to all! Also, special thanks to CMP/GDC for providing us with a roundtable session which only a select few SIGs are allowed to have, but also for highlighting our panel on the GDC site and for enabling all passes to attend the roundtable. Last but not least, big thanks the IGDA people who has made the schedule puzzle work out great for us. 

If you are attending GDC : See you soon!

Best regards,
Thomas
