Guide to accessible & inclusive conferences

This guide provides practical guidance for planning and delivering accessible and inclusive conferences and large meetings for persons with disabilities. Grounded in the CRPD, it addresses accessibility throughout the full event cycle, from initial planning, budgeting and procurement to registration, venues, accommodation, transport, communications, event delivery and post-event evaluation.

Built around the principles of accessibility, inclusion, reasonable accommodation and universal design, the guide emphasises the involvement of organisations of persons with disabilities and provides practical tools, checklists and technical specifications to help organisers ensure the meaningful participation of persons with disabilities.
