Tips for organizing an accessible event
Valencia is a city open to everyone, and our hotels and event venues implement all possible measures to be accessible to people with any type of disability. If you are thinking of organizing an event here, you too can help make it accessible.
Think of everyone
People with limited mobility, visual or intellectual disabilities, hearing or speech difficulties... and remember that not all disabilities are obvious.
Facilitate registration with different formats
Always ask the public, speakers, and exhibitors to register their accessibility needs.
Create a destination guide
A guide featuring the venue and activities with all relevant information on accessibility (transport, services, etc.), and make it available to everyone before the event.
Create a specialized team
Prepare the best team, featuring an easily identifiable accessibility manager, properly trained guides, and at least one person proficient in sign language.
Remove obstacles
Introduce wide ramps, even flooring, and non-slip rugs, and avoid low-hanging overhead elements or furniture that obstructs the way.
Use matte paper for printed materials
Avoid reflections, use an easy-to-read font type and size, and ensure clear color contrasts.
Visual, auditory, and tactile signage
Ensure there is clear signage that is visual, auditory, and tactile.
Guarantee inclusive communication at your Event
During the event, complement verbal communication with subtitles, interpreters, sound amplifiers... and also offer alternatives to visual communication.
Professional treatment and natural inclusion
Above all, treat people with disabilities naturally, with respect, and with the same professional attention as everyone else.
