Creating Neuroinclusive Events

As part of our ‘Meetings of the Future’ research LVP have discovered that neurodiversity awareness in events is becoming the ‘new event sustainability’ with articles beginning to be published in industry news.  It is also a topic some of the larger agents are asking suppliers , like us, about. The discussion around diversity, equality, and inclusivity (DEI) has become increasingly important. Whilst this (rightly) focuses on race, gender, and sexuality, it’s also essential that these efforts ensure the inclusion and accommodation for neurodiversity. LVP have partnered with industry experts ‘Stress Matters’ to educate, raise awareness and help us to normalise neurodivergence across our teams and venues. Join us at this half day workshop to find out how YOU can raise awareness.
