Bursary Fund – Supporting Accessibility
The Weight Stigma Conference is a not-for-profit event. The conference is funded by registration fees and a small number of sponsors whose support has made this event possible. Although we try and keep prices down, we realise that the conference will nevertheless be beyond some people’s means. Rather than raising the cost of tickets, we make every effort to raise additional funding through donations and sponsorship to allow us to give bursaries to individuals who otherwise wouldn’t be able to attend. Since 2016, we have been crowdsourcing the conference Bursary Fund, and your generosity has allowed us to provide 121 bursaries and 12 travel awards so far.
Donations can be made through our Go Fund Me page – please share this page with your networks. Thank you so much for your generosity.
Accessibility Accommodations
The chairs used in the conference venue have no arms and a weight capacity of 125 kg (275 pounds). Online, we will provide automatic closed captioning via Zoom. For other accessibility requirements, please indicate on your registration questionnaire. If we are not able to accommodate your needs, we will reach out to discuss options with you. Note, we cannot guarantee requests made less than 14 days prior to the conference.
