ICC Wales in partnership with The Business of Events have extended the deadline for its extensive research into accessibility and inclusion across the UK business events sector.
The extensive UK-wide research project into accessibility and inclusion across the business events sector has been launched to increase awareness and drive meaningful change, with the support of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Events.
With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) now in force across the EU, venues and organisers in the international events sector face growing pressure to ensure they are welcoming and fully inclusive for all delegates.
Supported by award-winning disability inclusion and accessibility expert Dr Shani Dhanda, the research invites venues and planners to take part in a short, anonymous survey, sharing honest insights into how accessibility is currently approached and where improvements are needed.
The findings will feed into a report due to be launched later this year, featuring research and commentary from delegates with both visible and non-visible disabilities.
The goal is to provide actionable insight that venues, organisers, and suppliers can use to create lasting change, rooted in lived experience and real-world application.
The survey can be accessed here. The deadline has now been extended to Friday 8th August 2025.
