About

Explore how neuroinclusive guidelines were applied in the delivery of a large-scale member symposium, moving from theory into real-world practice. Gain behind-the-scenes insight into how program design, physical spaces, communications and the on-site experience were adapted to support diverse cognitive needs—while still meeting commercial objectives and stakeholder expectations. Learn what worked, what didn’t, and how inclusive design can be embedded into core event strategy to create better experiences for everyone.

Learning outcomes:

Understand what neuroinclusive design looks like in a real event environment

Identify practical, implementable changes across the event lifecycle

Balance inclusivity with operational, budget and stakeholder considerations
