Great article! I just attended DjangoCon where we were allowed to choose our pronoun buttons. Here's a friend's tweet with photos of our pronoun buttons (including a blank option) and lanyards (color-coded for photographing preferences):
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
We had photo permission coloured lanyards at Scotland CSS earlier this year and it was my first time seeing them. I'd never considered it before and I guess I assumed that we'd all have our photos taken whether we liked it or not (hey, my first conference). I thought it was cool.

Loved how thoughtful this conference was in their planning.
That's awesome! I've seen events use buttons for photo permissions, but those are way harder to notice from across the room. This is a great solution!

Ooh. Color coded photo lanyards are also A+
