Are you ignoring – or worse yet, alienating – a large percentage of the population in your trade shows, whether online or in person?
Chances are you have been, even if you didn’t mean to.

* What to look for and ask about when checking out virtual event platforms
* Things to consider when adding captions and interpreters
* How to overcome some of the challenges presented by wearing masks
* Plus other tips for designing your exhibit booth with better access to all
