Unlocking Inclusivity: Delivering Accessible Events in Higher Ed
Create accessible and inclusive events to effectively engage your students, alums and donors with disabilities.
The statistics are eye-opening: An estimated 26% of the U.S. population has a disability. In postsecondary education, 19% of students openly acknowledge having a disability—a figure that significantly understates the actual number, as only 12% officially notify their colleges or universities of their disability.
The focus on closing accessibility gaps has heightened. In May, the US Department of Justice and the US Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague letter emphasizing the legal imperative of removing barriers that hinder people with disabilities from participating in online services, programs and activities offered by higher education institutions.
To help you more effectively engage your students, alums and donors with disabilities, Cvent is hosting a webinar where our accessibility gurus will help break down planning accessible events.
This webinar will offer university administrators, event planners and event technologists insights, including:
• A deeper understanding of accessibility: facts, figures and definitions
• Increased awareness of specific types of disabilities and their impact on events
• Practical guidance for increasing event accessibility
Join us for this session that will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to create accessible and inclusive experiences that resonate with all of your constituents. Together, we can unlock accessibility and build a brighter future for higher education events.
