Accessibility at SF cons, specifically DisCon III

Over the years I've been attending SF cons, many have improved their disability access. But there's still a long way to go. Pass it on, because the more attention this issue gets, the more likely that additional improvements will be made.

(I had a virtual membership to DisCon III, and I watched/listened to some of the virtual panels.)

In another context, a friend of mine was on a disability-related panel at AwesomeCon (the DC version of ComiCon) and had quite a fight re: getting a ramp to get to the raised stage for it.
