Is Your Exclusive Event Truly Inclusive?**   High-end event planning is about crafting unforgettable experiences, but are you leaving anyone out?  🔑 If your event’s website, services, or booking platforms aren't accessible, you’re shutting out valuable clients.   Did you know?  📉 90% of websites are inaccessible to disabled people using assistive technology.   Let’s make your luxury events as inclusive as they are exclusive. Book a call, and let's plan an accessibility strategy that aligns with your brand’s standards.   #LuxuryEvents #EventPlanning #InclusiveEvents #InclusiveDesign #AccessibilityMatters #DEI #disability #ableism #inclusion #diversity #employment #equity #consulting #keynote #accessibility #workplace #disabilityawareness #disabilitypride #disabled #disabledcreator #disabilityrights #disabilityrepresentation #accessibleevents #businessstrategy #salesstrategy #employmentdiscrimination #disabilityinclusion #disabilityactivism #disabilities #disabledpeople #disabledcommunity #learningdisabilities #representation #representationmatters #genderequality #intersectionality #bookingsavailable #BookMe #equalopportunity #employmentdiscrimination #blackdisabledwomen #luxuryaccessiblenetworking

During #WorldAutismMonth, it's important to remember that sensory experiences can vary and not everyone can easily ask for help. Shoutout to the folks at the Hopkins Airport JW Marriott for recognizing this and taking action. It's heartening to see companies prioritize inclusivity and accessibility. #inclusion #accessibility #autismawareness

Empowered by Inclusion: Celebrating International Day of Persons with Disabilities at Hilton At Hilton, we don’t just talk about inclusion—we live it every day. On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we proudly celebrate the strength, resilience, and unique perspectives of individuals who enrich our teams and inspire us to be better. As a Human Resources Intern at Hilton, I’ve been deeply inspired by how inclusion transforms our workplace. It’s not just about removing barriers—it’s about building bridges. Every colleague contributes to a culture that values what makes us unique and drives us toward a shared vision of growth and innovation. Inclusion is powerful because it: A) Unlocks creativity through diverse perspectives B) Builds stronger teams rooted in empathy and understanding C) Creates a sense of belonging for every individual Today, I want to thank my colleagues who lead with heart and action, making our workplace inclusive, accessible, and welcoming for all. Let’s keep the conversation going and continue to advocate for workplaces where everyone can shine. #WeAreHilton #InclusionRevolution #InternationalDayOfPersonsWithDisabilities #StrongerTogether #HiltonCulture #DiversityMatters #AccessibilityForAll #BelongingAtWork Image credit goes to Trace Byrd

We all need nature for our wellbeing. Whether we visit a national park or local gardens, nature and green space make us healthier. Given that the majority of the global population live in urban environments, with vanishing green spaces, it’s not surprising that travelers increasingly seek out nature on their trips. Unfortunately, not everyone gets to enjoy visiting a park, gardens or that instagrammable scenic location. The Global Wellness Summit’s 2021 trend “Adding Color to Wellness” discussed BIPOC lack of access to nature, in their neighborhoods and farther afield. If we’re going to bring wellness to all, it’s time to make nature and green spaces far more inclusive by addressing the barriers confronting different communities–including people with disabilities, racial minorities, older adults, and the LGBTQ+ community.

Work isn’t working for all of us. In this powerful talk, Catarina Rivera tells us why employers and leaders have a lot of disabled employees they don’t know about, and shares how to make workplaces better for everyone by prioritizing disability inclusion. You’ll also learn 3 free and simple best practices for inclusion you can build into your culture right now.

As an advocate, I spend a lot of time working to help solve problems and to try to help create progress for the community of people living with disabilities where progress should have been all along. But I am also big on celebrating people and companies that are already doing the right things, and making the world the inclusive place that it should be where everyone in that world feels valued. Today, I want to celebrate my recent stay in Washington DC with the Sofitel Washington DC Lafayette Square. When I stay in a hotel, there is a specific accommodation regarding the hotel bed that five or 10 years ago was actually never a problem. Post Covid, this accommodation seems to have evaporated. Usually, I have to call between 10 and 20 hotels to find this accommodation. This happened to be the first hotel I called this time around. What happened next made me feel so valued, I can't even begin to tell you. Like a lot of other hotels, they actually did not have their rooms set up the way that I needed, but they took the time to ask questions and understand what I needed. Then, they emailed back-and-forth with me for about a week, and let me know they were going to actually disassemble the bed and create the accommodation I needed. THIS is the way to make your customer feel like they matter. THIS is the way to create a return customer. THIS is how to create inclusion. Take a moment and comment below, if you have had an extraordinary hotel experience as a person living with a disability. Please don't use this space to bash a company or a hotel chain. This post is about celebrating companies that live by inclusion.

🏨 Did you know? Nine out of ten guests with disabilities won’t visit a hotel unless they can confirm its suitability for their needs. That's why Accor is consistently working on enhancing our welcome for all.

Unveiled at the 6th Technology Accessibility Development Conference in Beijing, it pledges to bolster our hotels and the broader industry in fostering a culture of inclusion. 📋 This toolkit offers practical, user-friendly resources to help hotels evaluate and enhance their accessibility practices. It includes over 250 indicators to evaluate areas such as barrier-free infrastructure, accessibility aids, governance policies, public awareness, and more. It also provides definitions, examples, and best practices to help hotels understand and implement necessary changes.
