Join us on Wednesday 1 December for a virtual event exploring how to create an environment that is more inclusive for disabled people using communications.

Our expert speakers will provide practical tips and takeaways for communication professionals so we can better understand and consider the needs of disabled colleagues, customers and stakeholders in our strategies and organisations.

We’ll be exploring inclusive communication channels, language and striking the right tone in our communication.

This event will be a safe space for us to explore this topic together. Our speakers will be happy to answer your questions, so don’t be shy!

Mark Webb from Shift.ms will share his story of working as a Head of Comms with Multiple Sclerosis, and how his employer made it possible for him to fulfil his potential at work.

Diane Lightfoot from the Business Disability Forum will share some of their latest insights into inclusive language, and how communicators can make a difference to make people with disabilities feel more included in the workplace.

As well as our speakers, there will be time for you to network with other attendees in smaller breakout groups where you can discuss what you’ve heard and get to know each other a bit better.

This event is free to all IABC members. For non-members there is an early-bird rate of just £5 if you sign up by 23:30 on Tuesday 23 November. From midnight on Wednesday 24 November, tickets will cost £10. 

We hope the event will be hugely beneficial to all of you. Please share this with anyone who you think would be interested in attending.

See you there!
