		<h2><b>A Call for late abstracts</b></h2>
	</center>

<p>We recognize that not only did our call for abstracts fall in line with other major deadlines that many felt were an application barrier, but that we also failed to have an accessibility statement available by time the original call for abstracts closed, and hope that late abstracts may provide additional opportunities to those affected.We would like to note that although the conference is already oversubscribed and spaces are limited, we want to ensure that all interested people have an equal opportunity to apply to present in the form of a talk or on a panel.</p>

<p>Late abstracts may result in a short (15 minute) talk or contribution to a panel, and we will not be able to provide travel assistance to those who are registering for the first time with this call. See would like to welcome all participants to Inclusive Astronomy 2.</p>

<p>In addition to those attending in person, we have a live webcast set up for those that wish to see the different talks. If you are watching the public webcast, please note that we will not be live streaming Q&A sessions or discussions so you may notice occasional breaks in the stream. Check out the program schedule <a href="https://outerspace.stsci.edu/display/IA2/Program+Schedule">Program Schedule</a> to see when different talks are happening and note that all times are local (Eastern Daylight Time). You can find more information about webcasting and remote participation on our <a href="https://outerspace.stsci.edu/display/IA2/Remote+Participation">Remote Participation</a> page.</p>
