How important is diversity, inclusion, and accessibility in events?
In providing both in-person and virtual access, hybrid events seem like the perfect way to maximise accessibility and inclusion. However, it is important to remember that both formats present unique accessibility challenges, and successful hybrid events must address them all. In other words, hybrid events can actually multiply the number of accessibility considerations that event organisers need to keep in mind.
This discussion will highlight the various types of inclusion concerns relevant to events, including diversity, mobility, assistive technologies, language, and time zones, and help you make sure your event connects with and inspires attendees in the most diverse, inclusive, and accessible way possible.
