I was contacted a measly three days before the event and informed that I would be receiving an award for my contributions from the En chennai young Chennai team third edition. I was understandably excited about this, but when I contacted them to arrange for a sign language interpreter, they flatly and unacceptably denied to make the event accessible, citing some last-minute "challenge" - as if providing basic accommodations for disabled attendees is an inconvenience rather than a legal and moral obligation. The fact that I informed them of this need a full 24 hours in advance makes their callous disregard for accessibility all the more egregious.
