Whatever you do (as a company or organization), please don’t fall victim to the performative a11yship of #GAAD:

Using GAAD for marketing is, IMO, shitty. It’s the crap overlay companies pull to signal they aren’t shitty. Don’t be shitty on GAAD.

I don’t know which companies need to hear this, but it’s ok, you don’t have to hold a #GAAD event.

Maybe just share all the others or recommend one to check out. Let your employees attend one.

We don’t need dozens of competing events.

If you don’t have one on the calendar already, it’s too late anyway.
