Overview
This free webinar will guide ABPCO members to the services you need for inclusive events whether that means languages other than English, closed captions for sensory support, or meeting the needs of some disabled and neurodivergent people. It will give you a six-step guide to event inclusivity.
The session is designed to inform members of the various types of technologies and human skills needed to meet the needs of a range of audiences in different event frameworks. Reference will be made to the requirements of the European Accessibility Act.
Speakers include experts in the provision of language services who will cut a clear path for you through the maze of services currently on offer to find exactly what you need for your event.
The webinar is free to attend and open to all.
