Designing and building a truly accessible event requires thinking much deeper and more thoroughly about room setup, furniture, access points, and emergency procedures.
Nabeel Ramji, Accessibility Advocate and Co-Founder of Pedesting will join Anh for this casual, 30-minute interactive discussion.
Nabeel lives with Cerebral Palsy and has merged his unique personal and professional experience to increase accessibility awareness across all sectors. He will share his experiences attending events in a wheelchair and the simple, but overlooked, things planners can do to ensure their event is truly wheelchair accessible.
Topics covered:
– Designing registration spaces for attendees in wheelchairs
– Emergency evacuation of attendees in wheelchairs
– Identify spaces that are oftentimes overlooked when designing for wheelchair access
