People with disabilities represent a vast market segment. Globally, over 1.3–1.8 billion people live with some form of disability, controlling significant spending power (estimated around $1.9 trillion annually by themselves, and up to $13 trillion when including friends and family) . This “Purple Pound” (or “purple dollar”) is often under-served – in fact, only about 10% of businesses have a dedicated strategy for reaching disabled customers . The consequence is lost business and loyalty: roughly three-quarters of disabled consumers (75%) (and their families) say they have walked away from a business (store, website, etc.) due to poor accessibility or customer service . Once lost, these customers may not return – surveys indicate 70% of disabled people will not come back to a business after a negative accessibility or service experience . In short, ignoring accessibility means alienating a huge customer base, whereas companies that prioritize inclusion stand to gain loyal, repeat customers from this community.

Survey Data: Accessibility’s Impact on Purchasing Decisions

Multiple surveys across different regions show that accessibility features strongly influence where people with disabilities choose to spend their money – and whether they become repeat customers. Some key findings include:

Online Shopping Behavior

In a UK survey “Click-Away Pound” (2019), nearly 3 in 4 disabled online shoppers (around 69%) reported that they “click away” from websites that are difficult to use because of accessibility barriers . In other words, a majority will abandon purchases on inaccessible sites. Correspondingly, 83% of participants with access needs said they limit their spending to websites they know are accessible, and an even higher 86% have chosen to pay more for a product on an accessible site rather than purchase from an inaccessible website offering it for less . This demonstrates considerable customer loyalty to accessible e-commerce platforms – disabled shoppers are willing to stick with (and even pay a premium to) businesses that ensure an inclusive online experience. Additionally, one study focused on blind and low-vision users found that 84% consider a website or app’s accessibility a deciding factor in whether they will return to a service (i.e. become a repeat user) . These figures highlight that accessibility directly affects conversion and retention in digital commerce: an inaccessible interface often means a lost customer, while an accessible one can secure ongoing patronage.

In-Store & Physical Accessibility

A similar dynamic appears in the physical retail and services environment. Disability advocacy organizations report that 75% of disabled people (and their families) have left a brick-and-mortar store, restaurant, or other business due to barriers like lack of wheelchair access, poor layout, or unhelpful service . A U.K. consumer study by the Business Disability Forum in 2021 likewise found 43% of disabled respondents had recently abandoned in-person shopping trips because of the access barriers they encountered (a proportion mirrored in online shopping as well) . Such missed transactions represent not only one-time losses but also lost future loyalty. If a shopper cannot enter a shop, navigate it, or obtain assistance, they are unlikely to return. On the other hand, when physical accessibility is addressed, it encourages repeat visits. For example, inclusive design agency research found 68% of consumers are more loyal to brands that implement inclusive design elements in their stores . This means features like step-free entrances, wide aisles, accessible restrooms, clear signage, quiet “sensory-friendly” hours, or staff training in disability awareness can significantly enhance loyalty among all customers (disabled customers in particular, but also others who appreciate the improved experience). Moreover, broad public sentiment favors businesses that demonstrate accessibility and inclusion – about 66% of consumers (per a Nielsen report) say they are willing to pay more to companies committed to positive social impact, and 92% in one U.S. survey said they are more likely to support companies that hire and support people with disabilities . In summary, physical and digital accessibility are key factors in purchase decisions for disabled customers, often determining whether they complete a purchase, return again, or take their money elsewhere.

Loyalty, Retention, and Expectations of Disabled Customers

Customer loyalty among people with disabilities is strongly tied to how consistently a business meets accessibility needs. The data suggests that many disabled customers become extremely loyal to companies that get accessibility right, and extremely quick to abandon those that do not. As noted, the vast majority will not tolerate repeated barriers: if a website or location is unusable or a staff member is disrespectful, a customer with a disability may not only leave – they may never come back (70% say they won’t return after a bad experience) . This implies that businesses often have “one chance” to make a good impression with disabled patrons. On the flip side, positive experiences generate goodwill and repeat business. Advocacy groups often emphasize how improving accessibility can convert disabled shoppers into loyal customers and even brand advocates. For instance, the Purple Tuesday campaign (which focuses on improving the disabled customer experience globally) cites these loyalty facts to urge businesses to act. Disabled consumers themselves report noticing gradual improvements in some sectors – nearly 65% in one survey agreed that businesses are starting to recognize the importance of accessible products and services, and 54% said they have noticed a positive change in how they are treated as customers in recent years . However, expectations remain higher: 27% said companies “have a long way to go” to be fully accessible for all . In practical terms, people with disabilities expect equal access and respectful, knowledgeable customer service – and they reward it. Companies that consult with disabled users, advertise their accessibility features, or actively welcome disabled customers tend to gain trust within the community. This can lead not only to repeat purchases but also referrals through disability networks. In fact, research shows companies with strong accessibility practices benefit from about 2.5 times more customer referrals, as well as higher satisfaction ratings . The bottom line is that loyalty is up for grabs: brands that invest in accessibility can capture enduring loyalty, whereas those that ignore it risk reputational damage and customer churn.

Case Studies and Business Impact of Accessibility

Beyond surveys and intentions, we have tangible examples and industry studies demonstrating the business benefits of accessibility – often linked to customer loyalty and retention:

Retail & E-Commerce

According to a 2024 report by Software Advice, 60% of retailers who implemented various digital accessibility improvements (on websites or mobile apps) reported an increase in customer loyalty as a direct result . Additionally, 37% saw a boost in sales or conversion rates, underlining that accessibility can translate into revenue growth . One senior analyst noted that by neglecting accessibility, retailers are missing out on a “huge, loyal audience” of online shoppers with disabilities.

An early illustrative case comes from the UK: Tesco, the grocery retailer, partnered with the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) to improve its website’s screen-reader compatibility and overall usability. The outcome was striking – Tesco saw a 350% increase in online sales after making their online shopping platform accessible, and also significantly reduced support calls (since customers encountered fewer problems). In effect, by addressing accessibility, Tesco attracted back many shoppers who previously struggled with the site, turning them into repeat customers and even drawing in new users (including some without disabilities who found the simplified interface easier to use) . Another study notes that accessible e-commerce sites tend to have higher conversion and lower cart-abandonment rates – for example, one analysis found accessible online stores 50% higher conversion rates and 40% lower abandonment on average compared to industry norms. These improvements link directly to customer retention and completing sales rather than losing customers midway.

Financial Services & Payments

Accessibility also affects loyalty in sectors like banking and payments. In one study, 84% of blind or low-vision users said the accessibility of a financial service (such as an online banking app or payment terminal) is a deciding factor in whether they continue using it or switch to a competitor . Recognizing this, some banks have adopted talking ATMs, tactile card readers, and accessible mobile apps to retain visually impaired customers. When those needs aren’t met, disabled customers often switch providers in search of a better experience.

Hospitality & Travel

Although global data is sparser here, numerous anecdotes and smaller surveys indicate similar patterns. For example, hotels that offer wheelchair-accessible rooms and deaf communication kits, or airlines that provide disability accommodations, often receive repeat visits from disability community members (and their families). On the flip side, travel companies have faced public criticism and loss of patronage when failing to accommodate service animals or accessibility equipment. (One UK tourism fact notes 70% of disabled people wouldn’t rebook with a business after poor service, as cited above .)

Product Design Case – Accessible Gaming

A compelling case study in product design is Microsoft’s Xbox Adaptive Controller, an adaptive game controller designed for gamers with limited mobility. By involving the disability community in design, Microsoft not only filled an unmet need but also saw concrete loyalty gains: the project achieved a 91% satisfaction rate among disabled gamers, and it increased their loyalty to the Xbox brand by 28% (many gamers with disabilities who used the controller became significantly more inclined to stick with or purchase Xbox products over competitors) . This initiative also reportedly opened up a new market segment worth an estimated $1 billion in revenue . The success of the adaptive controller illustrates how accessibility can boost brand affinity – in this case, disabled customers felt heard and valued, resulting in stronger brand loyalty and positive word-of-mouth in the community.

Broader Performance Metrics

At a high level, companies that champion accessibility and disability inclusion tend to outperform peers, suggesting a correlation with customer loyalty and brand strength. A 2023 Accenture study of large firms found those leading in disability inclusion (across products, customer service, and employment practices) achieved 1.6× more revenue and 2× more net income than their peers . These leaders are also 25% more likely to outperform competitors in productivity (revenue per employee) . While multiple factors are at play, Accenture noted that disability inclusion “provides compelling evidence [of] accelerated business performance, brand loyalty and shareholder returns” . In terms of customer experience, firms with strong accessibility programs report higher Net Promoter Scores (NPS) – a key loyalty indicator – by about 30% on average, and significantly higher customer satisfaction in service interactions.

There is even evidence that a majority of consumers – disabled or not – appreciate accessibility to the point of paying a premium: in one analysis, 67% of customers said they would pay more for the same service if it’s provided in an accessible way (for instance, choosing an accessible ride-share or streaming service even if it costs slightly more) . All these data points reinforce the idea that accessibility is a smart business investment. One oft-cited figure (from a Forrester economic analysis) is an ROI of ~99% on accessibility initiatives – nearly doubling one’s investment – when accounting for increased revenue, reduced legal risk, and efficiency gains; another framing put it as “every $1 invested in accessibility can yield ~$100 in return” once factors like customer retention and brand expansion are included . While the exact ROI will vary by company, the consistent theme is that improving accessibility tends to attract more customers, keep them loyal, and drive repeat business, which ultimately shows up in the bottom line.

We believe that this carries over into ticketed events

Accessibility – both physical and digital – has a direct, measurable impact on customer loyalty for people with disabilities. When businesses make their products, services, stores, and websites accessible, they tap into a loyal customer segment that not only rewards them with repeat business but often advocacy and positive reviews. Conversely, failing to provide accessible experiences can swiftly drive disabled customers (and their families) away to more inclusive competitors. The research and cases above, spanning e-commerce, retail, technology, and beyond, all point to the same conclusion: companies that prioritize accessibility tend to see higher customer retention and loyalty metrics. As one report summarized, companies integrating accessibility into customer experience saw about a 60% boost in repeat customers – the kind of increase that can turn casual shoppers into lifelong customers . Given the immense global spending power of people with disabilities, the “business case” for accessibility is stronger than ever. By creating barrier-free experiences, businesses not only fulfill ethical and legal duties but also build a reputation for inclusivity that resonates with consumers. In today’s market, inclusive companies gain a competitive edge – they benefit from the trust and loyalty of disabled patrons, while also appealing to socially conscious consumers at large . In short, accessibility drives loyalty: it invites a huge population of customers to keep coming back, knowing their needs will be met, and that loyalty can translate into significant growth and performance advantages for businesses that truly welcome all customers.

Sources

The above insights are supported by numerous studies and reports, including survey research by disability advocacy groups and firms (e.g. the Click-Away Pound survey and Purple Tuesday data), market analyses by consulting organizations, and documented case studies. Each source reinforces the message that when accessibility is made a priority, customers with disabilities respond with repeat business and loyalty – to the benefit of both the consumers and the companies that serve them.

Comment on Competition in the Ticketing Industry

From: Eventably, Inc.

Organization: Eventably | Annapolis, MD

Date: July 1, 2025

As a member of the International Ticketing Association (INTIX) and as a competitive ticketing platform serving live entertainment venues nationwide, I write to support efforts to eliminate deceptive ticketing practices and restore fair competition to an industry that has systematically excluded millions of Americans, including the 61 million Americans with disabilities who face significant barriers to accessing live entertainment.

Excessive and Hidden Fees – Our analysis of consumer complaints reveals service fees reaching 100% of ticket face value, with costs deliberately hidden until the final checkout step. These excessive fees disproportionately harm disabled consumers, who often face limited seating options and cannot comparison shop effectively when accessible tickets are only available through separate, non-transparent booking processes. At Eventably, we prove that transparent, all-in pricing benefits all consumers, including the 28.7% of Americans with disabilities who deserve equal access to live entertainment.

Accessibility Barriers and Consumer Exclusion – Research shows that 50% of disabled consumers who attend live events face access issues, with half of those experiencing booking problems reporting that ticketing companies don’t offer accessible seats as an option. The dominant provider’s monopolistic control has resulted in inadequate investment in accessible booking systems, forcing disabled consumers through separate, often inferior purchasing processes that violate the principle of equal access. With 61 million Americans having disabilities, this represents massive consumer exclusion from the live entertainment market.

Monopolistic Market Control – Ticketmaster’s control of approximately 80% of the primary ticketing market, combined with their vertical integration following the 2010 Live Nation merger, has created a system where venues, artists, and consumers – particularly those with accessibility needs face limited choices. Exclusive venue contracts spanning decades prevent competition and innovation in accessible ticketing solutions, forcing all market participants to accept inferior service that fails to meet ADA requirements and excludes millions of potential customers.

Speculative Sales and Market Manipulation – The dominant provider’s manipulation of both primary and secondary markets particularly harms disabled consumers, who often cannot access fairly priced accessible tickets in primary sales and face even greater barriers in secondary markets where accessible seating is rarely available. This coordinated control across the entire ticketing ecosystem denies equal access to live entertainment for disabled Americans while diverting revenue from artists and venues.

I urge the DOJ and the FTC to adopt comprehensive reforms:

• Break up the Live Nation-Ticketmaster vertical integration to eliminate the ability to leverage venue control for ticketing market dominance that excludes disabled consumers
• Ban exclusive dealing arrangements that prevent venues from choosing competitive ticketing providers offering superior accessibility features
• Mandate all-in pricing transparency and equal accessibility in all booking processes to eliminate hidden fees and separate, inferior systems for disabled consumers
• Require accessible seating availability at all price levels through the same booking process as general admission tickets
• Establish enhanced ADA compliance standards for ticketing platforms with meaningful penalties for accessibility failures
• Create ongoing enforcement mechanisms to ensure equal access for the 61 million Americans with disabilities

Thank you for taking on this critical issue. As a competitive ticketing platform, Eventably abides by the International Ticketing Association’s Code of Ethics and ADA requirements that promote transparency, fairness, accessibility and trust in ticketing for the live entertainment industry. We have proven that competitive markets can deliver superior value to all consumers, including disabled Americans who have been systematically excluded by monopolistic practices.

The American people—all 330 million of us, including 61 million with disabilities— deserve access to live entertainment that is fairly priced, transparently marketed, accessible to all, and provided through competitive markets that reward innovation and customer service rather than market manipulation and consumer exclusion.

Sincerely, Eventably, LLC. Annapolis, MD

Why Inclusive Language Matters

Inclusive language is a way of communicating that avoids biased expressions, assumptions, or stereotypes that could marginalize individuals or groups. It’s about using words that welcome diversity and foster belonging. Whether you are addressing colleagues, clients, or a public audience, inclusive language ensures that no one feels overlooked or diminished based on their gender, race, age, ability, or background.

By using inclusive language, you:

• Create a Welcoming Environment: Everyone in your audience should feel that their presence matters. Language that recognizes diverse experiences fosters a sense of belonging.
• Promote Respect and Dignity: Inclusive language reflects respect for all individuals, affirming their identities and experiences.
• Encourage Broader Participation: When people feel included, they are more likely to engage with your message and contribute to discussions.

In contrast, non-inclusive language can be a barrier to communication, unintentionally sending messages of exclusion or ignorance. So what should you avoid when giving presentations?

Gendered Language

What to Avoid

Using gender-specific terms that reinforce stereotypes or make assumptions about roles based on gender. Phrases like “chairman,” “mankind,” or addressing a group as “ladies and gentlemen” can exclude people who do not identify with these terms.

What to Use Instead

Opt for gender-neutral alternatives, such as “chairperson,” “humanity,” or simply “everyone” or “colleagues.” Avoid assuming someone’s gender based on their appearance or role—if possible, ask for preferred pronouns or avoid pronouns altogether if you’re uncertain.

Example:

• Avoid: “The chairman will lead the meeting.”
• Use Instead: “The chairperson will lead the meeting.”

Ableist Language

What to Avoid

Words and phrases that perpetuate stereotypes or diminish the experiences of people with disabilities. Terms like “crazy,” “lame,” “blind to the facts,” or “handicapped” can be hurtful or dismissive.

What to Use Instead

Be mindful of how you describe abilities and experiences. Use people-first language, which emphasizes the person over their condition (e.g., “person with a disability” rather than “disabled person”). Avoid metaphors that use disability as a negative or derogatory term.

Example:

• Avoid: “That idea is so crazy!”
• Use Instead: “That idea is surprising!”

Culturally Insensitive Language

What to Avoid

Terms or references that trivialize or appropriate aspects of another culture, especially when used inaccurately or out of context. Phrases like “spirit animal,” “tribe,” or “powwow” can be disrespectful to indigenous cultures, while casual use of sacred symbols, dress, or language can come across as appropriative.

What to Use Instead

Be mindful of the cultural significance behind certain words or expressions. Avoid using cultural references unless you are sure of their meaning and context, or better yet, find more neutral expressions that avoid cultural appropriation.

Example:

• Avoid: “Let’s have a powwow to discuss this.”
• Use Instead: “Let’s meet to discuss this.”

Jargon and Technical Language

What to Avoid

Overuse of industry jargon or technical terms that only certain groups in your audience understand. Using jargon without explanation can alienate those who are unfamiliar with the terms, creating an “in-group” versus “out-group” dynamic.

What to Use Instead

Simplify your language where possible and offer explanations for any technical terms. If you must use industry-specific language, provide a brief explanation or definition so everyone can follow along.

Example:

• Avoid: “We need to optimize the KPI metrics for the RFP.”
• Use Instead: “We need to improve the key performance indicators for the project proposal.”

Stereotypical or Generalizing Language

What to Avoid

Generalizations based on stereotypes, such as assuming someone’s preferences, abilities, or interests based on their gender, ethnicity, age, or background. Phrases like “you people” or assuming that all women are nurturing or that older people are bad with technology are harmful and divisive.

What to Use Instead

Treat individuals as individuals. Avoid making assumptions or comments based on stereotypes, and speak to your audience in a way that reflects their individuality and diverse perspectives.

Example:

• Avoid: “Millennials don’t know how to focus.”
• Use Instead: “Everyone approaches tasks differently depending on their experiences and preferences.”

Ageist Language

What to Avoid

Terms or comments that imply value judgments based on someone’s age. Describing someone as “over the hill” or making jokes about someone being too old to understand technology perpetuates ageism and can alienate both younger and older individuals.

What to Use Instead

Use language that is respectful of all age groups. Focus on skills, experience, and contributions rather than making assumptions based on age.

Example:

• Avoid: “This is too complicated for the older generation.”
• Use Instead: “Everyone can learn this at their own pace.”

Why Describing Visual Content Matters

Visual content—such as slides, graphs, videos, and images—plays a central role in most presentations and events. It adds context, supports key points, and makes information more engaging. However, for blind or visually impaired attendees, this visual information can be entirely inaccessible unless it’s made available through verbal descriptions or alternative formats.

Here’s why describing visual content is essential:

• Equal Access to Information: Describing visual content ensures that blind or visually impaired attendees receive the same information as sighted participants. Without descriptions, they miss out on crucial parts of the presentation, which can create an unequal experience and limit their understanding or engagement.
• Inclusive Participation: Inaccessible visual content can make attendees feel excluded. By offering clear, thoughtful descriptions, you foster an environment of inclusivity, ensuring that every participant can engage in discussions and fully participate, regardless of their ability to see the visuals.
• Compliance with Accessibility Standards: Many countries have accessibility regulations, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in the U.S., that require event organizers to make accommodations for people with disabilities, including the blind and visually impaired. Providing descriptions for visual content not only aligns with these standards but also demonstrates a commitment to diversity and inclusion.

What Visual Content Should Be Described?

In presentations, nearly any type of visual content can benefit from description. Here are common examples:

• Images and Photographs: Provide context by explaining what is depicted in the image. This could include the setting, people, actions, and any emotions or symbolism conveyed by the visual.
• Charts and Graphs: Describe key data points, trends, and comparisons. Explain what the graph is intended to illustrate and the significance of the visual information being presented.
• Diagrams and Infographics: Walk through the main elements and relationships presented in the diagram. Focus on explaining the structure and meaning behind the visual representation.
• Videos: Offer descriptions of actions, settings, and changes in the visual content. If the video contains important on-screen text, make sure that’s conveyed as well.
• Slides and Text: While text may be read aloud by the presenter, any formatting, images, or structural elements that contribute to the overall meaning should also be described.

How to Effectively Describe Visual Content

Providing effective descriptions isn’t just about listing details—it’s about conveying the essence and relevance of the visual information in a way that makes it meaningful for the audience. Here are some best practices:

• Be Concise but Informative: Aim to describe visual content in a clear, concise manner without overloading the listener with unnecessary details. Focus on the most important aspects that convey the message or purpose of the visual. For example, when describing a graph, prioritize key trends or comparisons rather than attempting to describe every single data point.
• Focus on Context and Meaning: Provide context for why the visual is important to the overall presentation. How does it support the point being made? How should the listener interpret the information? For example, if a slide includes a diagram of an organization’s structure, describe not only the diagram but also how it relates to the presenter’s point about team hierarchy.
• Use Inclusive Language: When describing visuals, avoid using sight-based language like “as you can see” or “look at this.” Instead, frame your descriptions in a way that acknowledges the diversity of your audience. For example, say “this image depicts…” or “in this diagram, we see…”
• Describe Visual Content in Real-Time: Ideally, descriptions should be provided in sync with the visual being presented. If you are using slides, describe each one as you progress through your presentation, ensuring that blind and visually impaired attendees can follow along in real-time.
• Offer Alternative Formats: In addition to verbal descriptions, consider offering written or audio alternatives for visual content, especially for materials distributed before or after the presentation. Eventably makes it easy to provide accessible versions of your presentation materials, allowing attendees to engage with the content in the format that works best for them.

How Eventably Supports Accessibility for Blind Attendees

At Eventably, we understand that creating inclusive and accessible events is vital. Our platform is designed to help event organizers seamlessly incorporate accessibility measures into every part of their event planning process, including the description of visual content. Here’s how Eventably can help:

• Live Descriptions During Events: Our platform allows for the integration of live audio descriptions, ensuring that blind attendees can follow along with visual content in real-time during both in-person and virtual events.
• Accessible Event Materials: Eventably makes it easy to share accessible versions of your event materials, including audio descriptions, braille-ready files, and text descriptions of images, diagrams, and graphs.

Whether it’s understanding best practices for describing visual content or ensuring your virtual event platform is compatible with assistive technologies, Eventably equips you with the tools and knowledge needed for success.

Making Visual Content Accessible for All

Inclusion starts with recognizing that not everyone experiences content in the same way. Blind and visually impaired attendees should have the same access to visual information as sighted participants, and this is made possible through thoughtful and descriptive communication.

By taking the time to describe your visual content effectively, you not only ensure that your message reaches all attendees, but you also create a more inclusive and respectful environment. At Eventably, we are committed to supporting you in making your events accessible for all, providing the tools and resources needed to describe visual content and engage blind attendees meaningfully.

In the end, it’s not just about compliance or accessibility—it’s about making sure every voice in the audience is heard and valued. With Eventably, you can ensure that your events are truly inclusive, welcoming, and accessible to everyone, regardless of their ability to see visual content.

Why Readability and Accessibility Matter in Event Slides

Making slides readable and accessible isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about ensuring that all attendees, including those with disabilities, can engage with your content. Clear and accessible slides also benefit people viewing your presentation on smaller screens, in different lighting conditions, or those who may not be native speakers of the presentation’s language.

By focusing on readability and accessibility, you can:

1. Enhance Understanding: Well-designed, accessible slides help your audience follow along and grasp key points, regardless of their abilities.
2. Encourage Engagement: When attendees can comfortably read and understand your slides, they are more likely to participate and engage with your content.
3. Promote Inclusivity: Accessible slides demonstrate a commitment to inclusivity and respect for the diverse needs of your audience, ensuring everyone feels welcome and valued.

Choose High-Contrast Color Combinations

What to do

Select color combinations that offer a high level of contrast between text and background. Dark text on a light background or light text on a dark background works best. Avoid using colors that are too similar, as they can be difficult for attendees with visual impairments or color blindness to read.

Tips

• Use color contrast checkers to ensure your slides meet accessibility standards, aiming for a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text.
• Avoid relying on color alone to convey information. Use patterns or labels in addition to color to differentiate data points on charts.

Use Legible Fonts and Sufficient Font Sizes

What to do

Choose fonts that are easy to read, avoiding overly decorative or script fonts. Sans-serif fonts like Arial, Helvetica, or Calibri are generally more legible on slides. Ensure your font size is large enough to be read by attendees, even from the back of a room or on smaller screens during virtual events.

Tips

• Use a minimum font size of 24 points for body text and 32-40 points for headings.
• Avoid using all caps for large sections of text, as it can be harder to read. Use title case or sentence case instead for readability.

Keep Text Clear and Concise

What to do

Slides should support, not overwhelm, your spoken presentation. Aim for a clean, simple layout with minimal text. Focus on key points, and avoid cluttering your slides with too much information. This makes it easier for attendees to read and retain the content.

Tips

• Use bullet points or short sentences rather than large blocks of text.
• Limit each slide to one main idea to keep the content focused.
• Ensure any embedded hyperlinks are descriptive (e.g., “Learn more about accessibility” instead of “Click here”).

Provide Alt Text for Images and Graphics

What to do

Include alternative text (alt text) for all images, diagrams, and other visual elements so that attendees who use screen readers can understand what is being displayed. Alt text should be descriptive and convey essential information without unnecessary details.

Tips

• Describe the content and purpose of the image. For example, instead of just saying “Chart,” describe what the chart shows: “Bar chart showing a 20% increase in sales from Q1 to Q2.”
• Be succinct but informative. Avoid phrases like “image of” or “graphic of” unless that information is necessary.

Use Simple, Clean Slide Layouts

What to do

Simple layouts are more accessible for everyone, including attendees with cognitive disabilities or those viewing your presentation on small screens. Stick to clean, uncluttered designs that make it easy to focus on the core message of each slide.

Tips

• Leave enough white space around text and images to prevent your slides from feeling cramped.
• Use consistent layouts throughout your presentation, with a clear hierarchy of headings, subheadings, and body text.
• Limit the number of slides and transitions to reduce cognitive load for your audience.

Offer Accessible Versions of Slides

What to do

Make your slides available to attendees in accessible formats, such as PDF documents with properly tagged headings and descriptions, or in formats compatible with screen readers. This allows participants to review the content at their own pace, even after the event.

Tips

• Provide your slides in advance to allow attendees time to familiarize themselves with the content.
• Include audio descriptions or captions for video content to ensure all attendees can access the information.

Understanding the Shift to Virtual and Hybrid Events

The COVID-19 pandemic had a massive impact on events. The number of regularly occuring conferences, conventions, and meetups that have ended is staggering. But, it also accelerated the adoption of virtual events. For those who wished to continue running their events, switching to virtual was a necessity rather than an option. While many previously in-person gatherings have since resumed, the advantages of virtual formats—broader reach, reduced carbon footprint, and increased accessibility—have solidified their place in event planning. Hybrid events, which combine in-person attendance with online participation, have also emerged as a popular choice, offering the best of both worlds. Yet, these benefits come with complexities that require thoughtful planning to ensure that all participants have a meaningful and inclusive experience.

Pre-Event Planning: Setting the Stage for Inclusivity

Inclusivity starts long before the event date. Effective pre-event planning involves making decisions about platforms, accessibility features, and participant engagement that will shape the entire experience. One of the first considerations is selecting a platform that offers built-in accessibility features like screen reader compatibility, captioning services, and user-friendly navigation. Organizers should also consider the time zone differences that can impact global participation. Offering sessions at multiple times or recording content for later viewing can help accommodate participants in different regions or who simply cannot participate fully in the event.

Additionally, clear communication with attendees about the event format, schedule, and accessibility features is critical. Providing detailed instructions on how to access the event platform, use interactive tools, and request additional support can alleviate anxiety for those less familiar with virtual environments. Organizers should also make it easy for participants to inform them of specific needs, such as sign language interpretation or alternative text for visual content, ensuring that accommodations are made well in advance.

Building an Inclusive Experience During the Event

Once the event is underway, organizers must focus on maintaining a smooth and inclusive experience for all participants. This requires paying attention to both technical elements and the social dynamics of engagement. For example, providing real-time captions and sign language interpretation can make sessions more accessible to those with hearing impairments. Additionally, using a diverse range of formats—such as live presentations, recorded videos, and interactive Q&A sessions—can cater to different learning styles and preferences.

Managing engagement is another critical aspect. In a virtual or hybrid setting, it can be challenging to foster a sense of community and ensure that all voices are heard. Interactive features like chat rooms, breakout sessions, and virtual networking spaces can help recreate some of the informal interactions that occur naturally at in-person events. Moderators play a key role in these settings by encouraging participation, guiding discussions, and ensuring that online attendees feel equally involved as those attending in person.

The article also highlights the importance of managing technical issues effectively. Technical challenges can be a significant barrier to participation, particularly for those unfamiliar with digital tools. Having a dedicated technical support team available throughout the event can help resolve issues quickly, allowing participants to focus on the content rather than navigating the platform.

Addressing Equity Challenges in Hybrid Events

Hybrid events present unique challenges when it comes to equity and inclusivity. One key issue is ensuring that virtual attendees have access to the same content and opportunities as those on-site. This can include providing live streams of keynote sessions, offering virtual tours of exhibits, and ensuring that virtual participants can ask questions and interact with speakers in real-time.

However, creating an equitable experience is not just about content access; it’s also about social engagement. Virtual attendees may feel isolated or left out of the more spontaneous interactions that occur at in-person events. To mitigate this, organizers can use technology to bridge the gap, such as by integrating virtual networking lounges where online participants can meet and chat with each other. Organizers can also encourage in-person attendees to participate in digital interactions, fostering a more integrated community.

The article emphasizes that hybrid events require a mindset shift. Rather than viewing the online component as secondary to the in-person experience, organizers should strive to create a cohesive event where all participants, regardless of their mode of attendance, feel equally valued and included.

Post-Event Follow-Up: Keeping the Momentum

The period following the event is an opportunity to maintain engagement and build on the connections made. Providing access to recorded sessions, transcripts, and other resources can help ensure that participants who could not attend live sessions still benefit from the content. This is particularly valuable for those in different time zones or with limited internet access during the live event.

Feedback collection is another essential component of post-event follow-up. Gathering input from participants about their experience, including accessibility and engagement, can provide valuable insights for improving future events. The feedback process should itself be inclusive, offering multiple ways for participants to share their thoughts, such as through surveys, one-on-one interviews, or virtual focus groups.

For virtual and hybrid events that aim to create lasting impact, building a community around the event’s theme or purpose can be beneficial. This can include creating online forums, social media groups, or newsletters that keep participants connected long after the event ends. Such efforts can transform a one-time event into an ongoing platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration.

Key Takeaways for Planning Inclusive Virtual and Hybrid Events

This article serves as a guide for event organizers looking to make their virtual and hybrid events more inclusive. Here are some of the most critical takeaways:

1. Choose the Right Platform: Opt for event platforms that prioritize accessibility, such as those that support screen readers and real-time captions. Accessibility features should be a central consideration during platform selection.
2. Accommodate Global Attendees: Address time zone challenges by offering content at multiple times or making recordings available. This can significantly broaden the reach of the event.
3. Engage Attendees Actively: Use interactive tools like Q&A sessions, chat rooms, and breakout sessions to encourage engagement. Make sure that virtual attendees have opportunities to connect with both speakers and other participants.
4. Prioritize Technical Support: Having a dedicated support team can quickly address issues and ensure a seamless experience for attendees, especially those less comfortable with technology.
5. Create Equity in Hybrid Settings: Ensure that virtual attendees have access to all the content and networking opportunities available to in-person participants. This includes live streaming sessions and creating spaces for virtual networking.
6. Focus on Follow-Up: Sharing resources, gathering feedback, and creating platforms for ongoing community engagement can extend the impact of an event beyond its scheduled days.

The Importance of Using an Accessible Event Management Platform

Accessibility begins before the event day — it starts when potential attendees are interacting with your registration platform. An accessible event registration system ensures that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can sign up without frustration. If your registration process excludes individuals, you not only miss out on attendees, but you also send a message that their needs haven’t been considered. In short, accessible registration builds trust, boosts inclusivity, and expands your event’s reach.

Accessible event management platforms go beyond just being navigable by keyboard or screen readers. They help organizers create a more inclusive experience by integrating features that anticipate attendees’ needs and empower them to request specific accommodations in advance.

Ask Attendees About Accommodation Requests

When building an accessible registration platform, it’s essential to include options for attendees to request accommodations. This simple addition can make a world of difference for attendees who need assistance to fully participate. Make sure your registration form provides fields to ask questions such as:

• Do you require accessible seating?
• Will you need sign language interpretation?
• Do you need Communication Access Real-time Translation (CART) services?
• Would you like to receive event materials in advance?

By allowing attendees to communicate their needs ahead of time, you are empowering them to have an experience that is comfortable, welcoming, and supportive.

Provide Multiple Forms of Support for Registration

An accessible event registration platform also needs to offer diverse ways for attendees to receive help if needed. Not everyone is tech-savvy, and for people with disabilities, certain digital processes can still present challenges despite accessibility improvements.

Consider offering:

• Telephone or email support for those who might struggle with the digital form.
• Live chat support to guide attendees through the registration process in real time.
• Video tutorials that demonstrate how to navigate the registration process with accessibility features like screen readers.

Offering these varied forms of support ensures that anyone facing challenges has an alternate way to successfully complete registration.

Ensure Mobile-Friendly Registration

More people than ever are using mobile devices to register for events. Making sure that your event registration platform is mobile-responsive is not just a convenience but an accessibility requirement. Attendees who rely on mobile devices, including those with disabilities who use specialized accessibility settings on their smartphones or tablets, need to be able to register without difficulty.

Your registration platform should work seamlessly across all devices — from desktop computers to smartphones and tablets — ensuring the experience remains user-friendly and accessible, no matter how someone accesses it.

In-Person Check-In Accessibility

The registration process doesn’t stop once the form is submitted online — you must also think about how accessible your check-in process will be in person. It’s important to make sure that the event check-in process is inclusive and accommodating for all attendees, including those with physical disabilities.

Here are some best practices for accessible in-person check-in:

• Height-adjusted registration desks: Ensure that your registration desks are accessible to people who use wheelchairs or are of short stature. Desks should be at a height that allows all attendees to comfortably reach any necessary materials or interact with staff.
• Accessible paths and clear signage: Make sure that the check-in area is easy to access and well-signposted. Pathways to registration desks should be clear, wide enough for wheelchair users, and free of obstacles.
• Support check-in via mobile app: Some registration platforms offer mobile check-in features. This allows attendees to avoid long lines or difficult-to-navigate physical spaces by checking in via their mobile devices. Mobile check-in can make the process much smoother, especially for attendees who prefer a contactless or faster experience.

In addition, consider offering assistance at the check-in desk, such as having staff members available to help people fill out necessary forms, navigate the space, or answer questions in person.

Make Accessibility Part of Every Step

Ensuring that your event registration process is accessible sends a strong message that your event values inclusivity and participation from everyone. By offering a platform that lets attendees request accommodations, providing support in multiple formats, optimizing mobile accessibility, and ensuring in-person check-in is inclusive, you create a welcoming environment for all.

The effort you put into making the registration process accessible is not just about meeting regulations; it’s about creating a space where everyone feels welcome and empowered to participate fully in your event. Inclusivity should be a cornerstone of every step of event planning, starting with registration and continuing through the attendee’s experience on the day of the event.

Choosing an Accessible Venue

Your venue choice will set the tone for the accessibility of your event. From the moment guests arrive, they should encounter an environment that accommodates a wide range of abilities.

• Entrances and Exits: Ensure the venue has ramps or elevators alongside stairs, and that entrances and exits are wide enough for wheelchair access. Automatic doors are a bonus, but if they’re not available, assign staff or volunteers to assist guests who may need help entering or exiting.
• Parking and Drop-Off: Accessible parking spaces should be close to the entrance, with clear signage. If parking isn’t available, confirm that there’s an accessible drop-off point for ride-shares or public transportation.
• Bathrooms: Make sure the venue has accessible restrooms with stalls that accommodate wheelchairs. These should be well-marked and easy to find.
• Pathways: Inside the venue, hallways, aisles, and common areas should be free from obstructions and wide enough to allow for easy navigation. Pay attention to seating arrangements for people who use mobility aids like wheelchairs, walkers, or canes. Keep in mind that some guests may have service animals, so plan spaces where they can sit with their handlers comfortably.

Ensuring the Stage and Presentation Areas Are Accessible

If your event includes a stage or presentation area, accessibility should extend there as well.

• Stage Access: Provide a ramp or lift to ensure presenters who use wheelchairs or have mobility impairments can easily get on and off the stage. This is crucial for conferences, conventions, or any event with featured speakers or performers.
• Clear Sightlines: Ensure that any multimedia presentations (slides, videos, etc.) are visible from all seating areas, including accessible seating sections. Consider adding captions to video content for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.
• Assistive Listening Devices: Provide assistive listening devices for guests with hearing impairments. This could include hearing loop systems, FM systems, or infrared systems, depending on the venue’s capabilities.
• Sign Language Interpreters: Consider offering sign language interpreters for your presentations or performances. This service helps make your event more inclusive to attendees who are deaf.

Accessible Ticketing Platforms

Accessibility doesn’t stop at the venue—it should start even before attendees set foot through the doors. One often overlooked aspect of event planning is the ticketing platform. Ensuring that your ticketing system is accessible makes the experience smoother for all attendees.

• Screen Reader Compatibility: Your ticketing platform should be compatible with screen readers for those who are blind or have low vision. Elements like forms, buttons, and drop-down menus need to be properly labeled and easy to navigate.
• Keyboard Navigation: Users with mobility impairments might rely on keyboard navigation rather than a mouse. Make sure your ticketing platform allows users to move through the interface using only a keyboard.
• Alternative Text for Images: If your platform includes images, such as venue maps or seating charts, ensure they have descriptive alternative text so that people using assistive technology can understand the content.
• Clear Instructions and Language: Ticket purchase flows should be straightforward and use simple, easy-to-understand language. If you’re offering tiered seating or tickets with different accessibility options, make sure this information is clearly communicated.
• Refunds and Exchanges: Have a policy in place that allows guests to easily exchange or refund tickets if their accessibility needs are not met. This can provide peace of mind to attendees with disabilities.

Promoting Accessibility Before the Event

Don’t forget to communicate the accessibility features of your event to potential attendees. Include detailed information on your website about:

• How accessible the venue is, including entrances, parking, restrooms, and stage areas.
• The availability of sign language interpreters, captioning services, or assistive listening devices.
• Instructions on how to request additional accommodations if needed.

By promoting accessibility early on, you set the right expectations and demonstrate your commitment to inclusivity.

Conclusion

Making your event accessible doesn’t just meet legal obligations—it shows your attendees that you care about creating an inclusive space where everyone can participate fully. From the venue choice to ticketing, small adjustments can have a huge impact. And remember, accessible events aren’t just for people with disabilities—they benefit everyone. With a few mindful decisions, you can ensure that your event is open, welcoming, and enjoyable for all attendees.

Here’s how to ensure your event invitations are accessible and inclusive.

Use a Simple, Readable Layout

• Avoid too many columns or layers: Stick to a single-column layout for easier navigation.
• Make sure your content flows logically: Keep a consistent structure, with headings, subheadings, and body text clearly delineated.
• Use plenty of white space: This makes the email less overwhelming and easier to read.

Write Descriptive Alt Text for Images

• Be clear and concise: Describe the image in a way that conveys its purpose in the email. If it’s decorative and doesn’t add context, you can mark it as such.
• Don’t forget about logos: Even if you think it’s obvious, describe your company or event’s logo in a way that helps users understand its significance. For example, instead of saying “Logo,” you could say “Event logo: ‘Tech Innovators Conference 2024,’ featuring a lightbulb icon.”

Ensure Text Is Readable

• Font size: Stick to 14-16pt font for body text and at least 18-22pt for headlines.
• Font choice: Use clear, sans-serif fonts like Arial, Verdana, or Helvetica, which are easier to read on screens. Avoid overly decorative or script fonts.
• Color contrast: Ensure strong contrast between text and background colors. A contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text (18pt and larger) is recommended.

Add Descriptive Links

• Use descriptive text: Instead of “Click here,” try “Learn more about the Tech Innovators Conference.” This gives users context for what the link leads to.
• Avoid excessively long URLs: Use shortened URLs or anchor text to keep links clean and easy to understand.

Provide Accessible Attachments and Documents

• PDFs: Ensure that any PDFs are optimized for accessibility by using text, not images of text, and tagging elements appropriately so screen readers can navigate them.
• Word or Excel documents: If you use Word or Excel, make sure the structure is clean with proper headings, tables, and formatting. Use the accessibility checker built into Microsoft Office to scan for any issues.

Use Video and Multimedia Carefully

• Always include captions for videos, and if possible, provide transcripts for users who may have difficulty watching or listening to the content.
• Provide descriptions for any visual or multimedia elements, ensuring that visually impaired users get the full experience.

Test for Screen Reader Compatibility

• Before sending out your email invitation, test it with a screen reader. Screen readers like JAWS, NVDA, and VoiceOver allow users to listen to the content and navigate through an email without sight.
• Ensure headings and sections are logically ordered so users can quickly skip through content if needed.
• Many email platforms provide built-in accessibility testing tools, so use those to flag potential issues before sending.

Avoid Overly Complex Language

• Stick to plain language: Avoid jargon, complex phrases, or long-winded sentences.
• Break up long paragraphs: Use bullet points, numbered lists, and short sentences to make your content scannable and easier to digest.

Offer Multiple Contact Options

• Ensure you provide a range of contact methods to cater to different needs. Not everyone will want or be able to respond via email, so offer alternative ways to RSVP or get in touch, such as:
  • A phone number (preferably text-enabled)
  • A contact form on your website
  • Social media messaging options

Include Accessibility Information for the Event

• To ensure your email is truly inclusive, include a section that details the accessibility features of your event. Whether it’s wheelchair access, ASL interpreters, assistive listening devices, or sensory-friendly spaces, this information should be readily available in your invitation.
• Make it easy for people to request accommodations by including a clear link or contact for accessibility services. For instance, “Please contact [Name] at [Email] to request accommodations such as ASL interpretation or accessible seating.”

Conclusion: Accessibility Is Everyone’s Responsibility

Making your event invitations accessible is not just about checking off boxes; it’s about demonstrating that your event is open to everyone. By following these email accessibility best practices, you’ll be able to reach a wider, more diverse audience and ensure that everyone feels welcome at your next event.

Remember, accessibility is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time fix. Continue to evaluate, learn, and improve your practices to create truly inclusive event experiences.

Breaking Down Barriers with Social Media

Accessibility in events is about more than just physical access—it’s about ensuring that everyone, including individuals with disabilities or those facing logistical challenges, can participate meaningfully. Social media serves as a dynamic platform for event organizers to connect with their audiences, share vital information, and receive feedback. Here’s how it plays a key role in promoting accessible events.

Broad Reach and Audience Targeting

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (now X) allow event organizers to reach diverse audiences, including people with disabilities, the elderly, and individuals from remote areas. By leveraging features like targeted ads and group communities, you can ensure your event’s promotion reaches those who would benefit most from the accessibility features you’re offering. Eventably’s platform can sync with your social media strategy, making it easy to share event details across platforms and ensure your message reaches the right audience at the right time.

Instant Communication and Updates

One of the biggest challenges for attendees with accessibility needs is staying informed about event logistics, changes, or specific accommodations. Social media offers a real-time solution, allowing you to provide updates on accessible entrances, services like closed captioning or sign language interpreters, and any other changes that may affect attendees with special needs. At Eventably, we help you automate these updates and integrate seamlessly with your social media accounts, ensuring that communication is always clear, consistent, and accessible.

Community Building and Engagement

Social media fosters community building by providing an interactive space where attendees can ask questions, share experiences, and connect with other participants before the event even begins. This is particularly important for those who might feel marginalized or disconnected due to physical limitations. Eventably’s platform supports these interactions by allowing users to engage through comments, questions, and personalized event invitations, creating an inclusive environment from the outset.

Visual Content and Descriptions

Accessible events must consider visual and auditory accessibility, and social media allows you to do this effectively through optimized content. Instagram stories, for instance, can provide image descriptions for the visually impaired, while YouTube videos can include subtitles and sign language overlays. Social media platforms now support a range of accessibility tools like alt-text, closed captions, and audio descriptions, which make your promotional content more inclusive. Eventably helps ensure that all your event-related content is equipped with these features, allowing all potential attendees to engage fully with the event information.

Feedback for Continuous Improvement

Social media offers a direct line of communication between event organizers and their audience. Attendees can offer real-time feedback, which allows organizers to make necessary adjustments before and during the event to improve accessibility. Eventably’s event management system encourages this feedback loop, ensuring you are constantly learning and improving how you meet the needs of all attendees, particularly those requiring additional accessibility measures.
