Our commitment

WCAG 2.1 AA · and a plan for every person on the hill.

Our online experience targets WCAG 2.1 AA. On the hill, we're committed to access for attendees who use mobility devices, are Deaf or hard of hearing, are blind or have low vision, have sensory or cognitive disabilities, or have any health condition that benefits from extra planning.

Magnetic World is held on the Garrison Grounds · a heritage site with uneven ground in places. We work with venue, security, and our production team to surface the best routes and supports.
