Here's an excellent and heartening followup on Arisia's turnaround: https://drwex.dreamwidth.org/1008603.html

drwex explains why it took so long to get to a public apology, and it makes quite a bit of sense: There were a lot of things that had to happen before that public apology could be made in a *meaningful* way.

I am not, in general, an Arisia attendee, but a large part of my social circles does attend. I think it's in good hands, even though yes it will take time for some people to be sufficiently assured that things have changed at a deep enough level that they'll feel safe attending. I wouldn't think poorly of anyone for making the choice to go *or* not to go this Spring.

(Also, I still can't believe they managed to pull off the venue change! That's a friggin' miracle.)
