Accessibility

Open Statement

The open exchange of ideas and the freedom of thought and expression are central to the aims and goals of the AutoUI conference series. The organizers and steering committee of AutoUI aim and commit to providing a harassment-free, accessible, and pleasant conference experience with equity in rights for all. We want every participant to feel welcome, included, and safe at the conference. Moreover, we will do our best to accommodate specific needs such as accessibility, or dietary requirements. We cannot promise to solve every issue, but will try our best.

If you have any other need or inquiry, please email accessibility@auto-ui.org and we will try to accommodate you as best as we can. We will add further accessibility plans in the near future.

We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants. Harassment includes but is not limited to overt and/or covert acts of:

  • Verbal accusations or bullying
  • Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following both in person and online
  • Harassing photography or recording
  • Sustained disruption of talks or other events
  • Interference with a person’s participation or opportunity for participation
  • Inappropriate physical contact
  • Unwelcome sexual attention
  • Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour

We expect all interactions between AutoUI members to be respectful and constructive, including interactions during the review process, at the conference itself, and on social media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers. A response that the participant was “just joking,” or “teasing,” or being “playful,” will not be accepted.

If anyone has questions about diversity or inclusion, or if they are the witness of or subject to (potentially) unacceptable behavior, they can get in touch with our diversity co-chairs or the general chairs. If anyone has questions about accessibility issues, they should get in touch with the accessibility co-chairs.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I COMMUNICATE ACCESSIBILITY NEEDS TO AUTOMOTIVEUI ORGANIZERS?

The aim of the organizers of AutomotiveUI is to ensure that the conference is accessible to everyone. When you register for the conference, there will be a registration question labeled "Accessibility needs". In your response, please indicate any accessibility needs such as wheelchair access, or a guide. The Chairs will follow up with you to clarify your needs. You can contact them directly at any time by emailing accessibility@auto-ui.org.

Important: Should you require sign language interpretation, please get in touch with the accessibility chairs via the above address no later than by August 17, 2023. Hiring sign language interpreters takes time and we cannot guarantee to be able to accommodate requests that reach us after that point.
