Comic-Con London 2016

It’s Going To be BSL Accessible (Just Like Last Year)

It can be hard to access all these amazing events when you’re deaf. Let’s take a look at how terptree breaks down these barriers:

We first enabled Comic-Con to provide access for the Deaf community to attend this special event last May & October. We ensured the staff at Comic-Con were given the best advice on such a large event and what requirements were necessary to provide support.

Everyone was very excited here at terptree to provide this support last year, and we’re equally as excited now, we all want to go!

There wasn’t an interpreter that wasn’t excited to put their name forward! We were inundated with requests to take the booking!

The importance of having interpreters at these big panel events allows deaf people to not only experience the exhibition elements of the event but also to have access to the individuals on the panel whom they respect and revere.

Even celebrities get in on the act! With some panellists throwing in swear words to see what the sign would be, the interpreters continued professionally—creating better inclusion and a community for all!

Working alongside the Comic-Con/MCM Expo team at each event they put on is a pleasure.
