I want to make an exciting announcement: we had recently partnered with A-Kon, an anime conference. One of the longest and biggest national conferences. The A-Kon conference will feature videos, discussion panels, authors, video games, anime cosplays, steampunk, and many more. We&#8217;re excited for this partnership because this kind of event doesn&#8217;t tend to be accessible for the DeafDisabled, DeafBlind, Deaf, and Hard of Hearing (DDDBDHH) community. We&#8217;re providing interpreting services so we can ensure that events are accessible for the community. If you&#8217;re interested in knowing more, here&#8217;s how!<\/p>\n<p>The video cuts to a white background with an image and text.
