This January 21-22 CrystalCon 2026, over two days and six sessions, will explore AI's very real consequences for disabled people and everyone who has to live with the products that companies integrate with it.

It's been almost three years, but CrystalCon, the accessibility conference created from spite, is back. This January, I'm giving you six sessions of content over two days, all made by me. Given the current state of tech and digital accessibility, most sessions will focus on artificial intelligence.

Imagine doubling down when your coworker asks you to stop using the company ChatGPT account for 50 shades of Gray porn. Though I can't help but laugh that it started calling everyone 'baby girl'
