This looks sick. 100% might be just what I need.
Comment on What should I know about using a wheelchair for the first time?

If you can, get one of these:
I’ve never used one, but I know 2 people who have and most of what they have said is positive.

From what I’ve been told, these things are terrible on your knees if you put your weight on them. So think of it as a crutch, not a skateboard.
YMMV.

You can pretty much sit down completely on them. I had ankle surgery and rode down the street all the time on it lol.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. My mom had ankle surgery earlier this year and used one for a few weeks while recovering.

Definitely this, and maybe a motorized scooter for days that really require you to move around. Also check the conference site or call them to see if they offer any accommodations. But, OP, you’re probably not gonna be making it 15-25 miles a day no matter what you do. Be honest with yourself and others about your limitations and don’t push yourself too hard. Have a backup plan to get around if you need to.
