The Equality Act (2010) considers any long term condition that has a substantial impact on the person to be a disability. How aware are we that the majority of those disabilities are unseen? In this panel we will talk about unseen accessibility issues in megagames, and how we can make accommodations to make megagames an open environment for all.
Matt Bambridge aka Mr Megagame will be chairing the panel. He has dyslexia and has suffered from depression at various points in his life, so brings some personal experience to the panel.
Join Mr Megagame and guests for an open conversation around the unseen issues that can affect accessibility in Megagames, and hopefully some suggestions around how we can make them more accessible for everyone.

So you want to be a megagamer? Not just a sit-in-the-background ignore-the-aliens stay-unmarried don’t-go-to-war megagamer, but one of the ones whose anecdotes will be told across the world, whose mere name will strike fear into the hearts of opponents and excitement into the hearts of teammates.
But there’s no one right way to megagame! On this panel, BeckyBecky, author of 7 Habits of Highly Effective Megagamers, will be speaking with megagamers with a range of styles about their top tips and advice for playing games in a way that is both interesting for them and fun for those around them.
Whether you’re new to megagames and want to get some insights, or a veteran with your own ideas about how to get the most out of megagames, come along with plenty of questions.
