One simple thing conferences can do is have their web designers look at their conference site (and talk schedule) in lynx or elinks or a similar text-based browser. If a text browser can't manage your site, it's likely that a screen reader also cannot.
My team at work uses Rocketchat (https://rocket.chat/), and it's quite a good open source IRC-nouveau chat application.
The most surprising thing about this article, to me, though, was that AutoDesk actually has a team to communicate with the open source community. I know that they use a lot of open source tech (Qt, Py{Qt,Side}, Python, openEXR, libilm, etc) but had no idea they took the time to interface with anyone about it.
Guy, I'd love to read an article about what sort of work you do at Open @ Autodesk.
