Visual overview of the key considerations highlighting Key Consideration 4: Choosing a Location (Venue Accessibility, Virtual Platforms)

The location of an event is critical when thinking about accessibility and inclusion. This includes thinking about the physical location, but increasingly also about a virtual location. Location now often refers to a hybrid environment that may include both a physical and virtual location. Not only does each location need careful consideration, but there should also be consideration of how to create a truly hybrid environment where all participants are afforded all the opportunities of the event.
