Inclusivity and accessibility should be at the heart of every event to ensure that all attendees, no matter their physical abilities, neurodiversity, cultural background or personal circumstances, feel welcome, valued and are able to fully participate. By making accessibility a priority from the early planning stages, you can easily create a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone.
The most fundamental aspect of inclusivity is ensuring that your event space is physically accessible to all. A thoughtfully designed venue layout can make a world of difference to the experience of attendees with mobility limitations.
Choosing the right venue is the first step, selecting one with enough space to accommodate all attendees comfortably, as well as ensuring that walkways are wide enough, the seating arrangements are clear, and there are designated areas for wheelchair users.
For large exhibitions or trade shows, ensure that there are adequate rest areas for attendees who may struggle with walking or standing for extended periods of time. Event staff should also be briefed and trained about accessibility considerations so that they can spot any difficulties and provide assistance when needed.
Inclusivity doesn’t just start on the day of the event but from the moment it’s announced. Digital accessibility is crucial when it comes to attendees being able to easily navigate and find event details, register or sign up and access resources. Websites can be optimised with accessibility‑friendly features such as alternative text for images, screen‑reader compatibility and a clear, simple navigation. If your event requires registration forms, these should be concise and easy to complete and if possible, alternative methods such as over‑the‑phone registration should be made available to those who need it.
Communication before, during, and after the event should be accessible and inclusive. While you may be focused on keeping any signage materials ‘on‑brand’ and visually appealing, it’s important to ensure it’s still clear and easy to read. Using contrasting colours, a large enough size and easy‑to‑read fonts can really help. Jargon and overly complex terms on event materials can act as a barrier or some attendees, so try to use simple and easy‑to‑comprehend language.
Being mindful and making considerations for attendees from different cultural and religious backgrounds will ensure that everyone feels welcome and included at your event.
Taking into consideration any holidays or religious observances when deciding on a date for your event will help to get maximum attendance. Where possible, you should provide a range of catering options for all dietary needs.
