As event owners and designers, we create the environment in which our participants learn, share, and innovate. In doing so, we need to consider the perspectives of all of our potential participants to design events that are welcoming, inclusive and accessible and that encourage full and dignified participation for all. In this session, learn about universal design principles, how to identify the unconscious bias that may be holding back your event’s potential, and how to grow audiences and improve event quality by designing welcoming events.
