Join colleagues from University of Michigan's Office of University & Development Events and Lake Forest Academy to discuss DEI and how to seamlessly integrate guest accessibility and inclusivity during the event planning process! Hear from two institutions who prioritize DEI as a core competency in the event planning process. How can you prioritize accessibility from the beginning of your event design process? When should you prioritize closed captioning and ASL interpreting? How do you invite a diverse audience? What items do you need to consider when building an inclusive menu? This session will conclude with a Q&A to ask all your questions about accessibility and inclusivity at events.
