Sydney Town Hall Accessibility Guide

We engaged our friends at Sociability to develop a detailed Accessibility Guide for Sydney Town Hall. The guide is designed to help everyone prepare ahead of the Disability Tech Summit and feel confident navigating throughout the venue. It includes detailed accessibility information about toilets, pathways, rooms, emergency routes and surrounding areas. Explore the Accessibility Guide: https://sociabil.yt/RemarkableTechSummit25
