+# Organization Checklist
+
+## Pre-Conference Communication
+
+- [ ] The Code of Conduct for the conference is written and easily accessible from the conference website.
+
+<sup>Attendees who had first or second-hand problems during conferences might avoid conferences with no CoC.</sup>
+
+- [ ] The website clearly states its goal to defend inclusivity.
+
+<sup>The absence of statement could be interpreted by minorities as an absence of such goal.</sup>
+
+- [ ] The website clearly states whether it is accessible to reduced-mobility attendees.
+
+<sup>Reduced mobility attendees might not engage with the conference when in doubt.</sup>
+
+- [ ] Contact associations and public figures of minority groups directly to advertise the conference.
+
+<sup>Such groups might have parallel networks than the rest of the community and not know about your event otherwise.</sup>
+
+
+## Venue
+
+- [ ] There are at least 5 seats / 100 person, where attendees wait beetween conferences.
+
+<sup>Attendees may have many reasons to need to seat during breaks.</sup>
+
+- [ ] It is possible to reach the venue through large walkways and protected crosswalks.
+
+<sup>Reduced mobility attendees might not be able to reach the venue otherwise.</sup>
+

+<sup>Some attendees might not be able to climb stairs.</sup>
+

+<sup>Wheelchair users should be able to attend all conferences.</sup>
+
+- [ ] There are gender neutral bathrooms.
+
+<sup>Trans and gender non-conforming attendees should not have to choose gendered toilets.</sup>
+
+- [ ] There are spots where attendees know they can find staff members during the whole conference.
+
+<sup>If a problem arises for an attendee, they need to be able to find available staff members without needing to search for them.</sup>
+
+- [ ] The conference program is available on an accessible webpage.
+
+<sup>It will allow blind and vision impaired attendees to organize their planning using voice recognition.</sup>
+
+
+## Lunch and Parties
+

+
+- [ ] Attendees have a way to indicate specific diets in advance, so that they can be served a different meal.
+
+<sup>It is often not practical to propose food that would blindly satisfy all existing diets. By directly asking attendees, the actual need can be identified.</sup>

+
+<sup>Attendees with food allergies might need to check the ingredients before eating something.</sup>

+
+<sup>Staff behaviour will have a tremendous impact on the experience of attendees during the conference.</sup>

+<sup>Every visible staff member might have to handle one on their own.</sup>
+
+- [ ] There is diversity in the staff members.
