I'll be delivering a keynote at the Adaptive Esports Summit in S. Korea! Gaming creates BELONGING by giving people of all backgrounds a place to connect, compete, and express themselves without traditional barriers. Adaptive esports takes this even further, showcasing how inclusive design empowers players with disabilities to compete at the highest levels and be celebrated for their skill, not their limitations. 🗓️ December 13 📍 Daejeon Esports Arena ►This first of it's kind event combines accessibility with competitive gaming. Showcase includes the first ever Adaptive Tekken tournament, led by four-time EVO champion and Esports legend Bae Jae-min "Knee". ►Panels and conversations between industry leaders including Bryce Johnson, Tülay McNally alongside South Korea’s home-grown Education, Accessibility and Esports professionals like Jeong Woong, JaeSeok Park, SangWoo Go, HyunJong Kang and YunSeong Nam. ► With appreciation to the organizers Tiago Fernandes & Sidney Yun Joong Kim!

Esports is for everyone! 👁️
Inclusion is the name of the game with adaptive esports. :)
I'm very appreciative of you Todd Harris for carrying this message forward. Keep getting loud about it because it's important! Thank you!
This is so cool, Todd. We’ve been working on an adaptive gaming showcase on campus at the end of January. We have local SCI and TBI patients coming to have a fun day of game play, giving them access and experience with the tools that allow them to continue gaming. It’ll be a first for us, but I’d love to pick your brain on if there are some areas we may be missing? Jacob Kaplan
