Diversity and inclusivity in events

Gain practical advice, new ideas and key insights to improve your events.

When done right, events can set the agenda for an association’s membership. They encapsulate what’s happening in an industry or sector right now, but can also give an insight into how an industry or sector is likely to evolve. But to get this right, events need to be fully representative of an association’s membership. Moreover, they need to promote diversity and inclusion.

But how can you create an experience that doesn’t exclude anyone, and supports all attendees, irrespective of their age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or abilities?

In this session, we’ll look at the latest developments in the discussion on diversity and inclusion at events. In this seminar, asociation executoves will look at how your events can embrace diversity and champion inclusion to become a driver of change for your members.

This session is open to all association professionals. Join the discussion and share your views. 

For your best engagement, the event is held in an online video meeting style.
