Knowledge, Learning, Community

This is good advice not just for conference organizers but for educational facilitators generally. Suggestions range from the obvious (have women on your organizing committee) to the unexpected (consider alternatives to the conference t-shirt). I like that they recommend not just gender diversity but also "racial diversity, age diversity and other forms of diversity." I would add that you don't just want different colours and shapes, you want people offering diverse perspectives. The article also offers advice on bathrooms, childcare and food selection.
