Our accessibility guidelines:

We:

  Enable conference accessibility and usability through communication and by incorporating accessibility requirements from the start when we research our venues for events

• ●

  Design around users - continually test and incorporate event feedback, particularly from people with disabilities, to ensure an optimal delegate. presenter/exhibitor and or sponsor experience at all at our conferences

• ●

  Educate employees on accessibility and disability and its importance to our users and our business

• ●

  Advance accessibility knowledge by learning from customer needs and experiences and in collaboration with our venues.

• ●

  Make it easy for collaborators and delegates to quickly and openly communicate with us about the accessibility compliance of our conferences

• ●

  Maintain an Accessibility Working Group comprised of colleagues from our business units to share best practice and foster collaboration and innovation
