According to the World Health Organization, 16% of people worldwide have some type of disability, with the US even higher at 26%.* As an event organizer, you can expand your attendee base, create richer customer connections, and drive your business goals further – to create an accessibility friendly experience for your events.

Join Cvent’s accessibility guru, Stephen Cutchins, who will help break down the essential aspects of accessibility and how you can begin to create events that are truly accessible.

Key Takeaways:
• A deeper understanding of accessibility: facts, figures and definitions
• Increased awareness of specific types of disabilities and how these can influence your event planning
• The surprising consequences of not incorporating accessibility concepts for your attendees
