Visually distinguish the good, the bad and the ugly
It is too hard right now to know which are DOs and which are DON'Ts while browsing the list. Maybe anther emoticon or perhaps with separate sections.
I'll try to do this!
If I may be so bold as to propose icons:
- :+1: for the good.
- :-1: for the bad.
- :trollface: for the ugly.
You may preface each point with the relevant symbol. Example:
π²π½π πΎπ§βπ§βπ¨πΌπ§π§β ππ»β Diversity
You would think that by now conference organizers finally figured this out, but you would be surprised.
:-1: Just don't do a conference with 80 male speakers, or 80 female speakers, or any 80 speakers of the same gender/nationality/race/age/etc.
:+1: Make sure to strike a nice balance and invite people of every geneder, nationality, race, and age. Don't discriminate on any level.
