    The conversation around diversity and inclusion in events has recently been increasing, and part of this is ensuring event accessibility. People living with disabilities are often neglected when large shifts take place, and they certainly were not at the forefront of the industry’s discussions when it came to pivoting to virtual.

    Virtual events are more inclusive than physical events in many ways — for example, they tend to be more affordable and don’t require any travel — and many have enjoyed higher attendance rates throughout the past year as a result. However, they’re still lagging when it comes to including deaf and blind participants, or those with learning disabilities.

    However, with the proper planning and tech, eventprofs can proactively ensure accessibility at their virtual events.

    What are the strategies for keeping events accessible to all?
