Taking your attendees’ accessibility needs into account when designing and producing business events isn’t only the right thing to do, it also can help you reach 20% more attendees and achieve 30% higher profit margins. 

By intentionally planning a fully accessible event, you accommodate those with visible or known disabilities, and also consider individuals across a spectrum of health, age, and other conditions. This allows all to participate in and enjoy your event equally—a win-win for you and your attendees. 

PCMA’s Accessibility Considerations for Event Planning Certificate course will demonstrate how to better engage all audiences and drive business event performance by planning with accessibility in mind. You’ll get training developed with your needs as an event professional in mind, and learn how to create accessible touchpoints during all phases of your event. 

Deliver more value to all your audiences, boost your bottom line, and set yourself and your organization apart as change agents for accessibility.
