Jolene Jang's video: INTENTIONAL DESIGN of WELCOMING MEETINGS -Northwest Event Show - DEI Diversity NWEVENTShow

Northwest Event Show - INTENTIONAL DESIGN and EXECUTION of WELCOMING MEETINGS https://nweventshow.com/ This presentation was delivered by Asian Americans and a Black woman to emphasize the significance of including voices like ours in the conversation and taking them into account. We are often not included. How inclusive are your events? How do you ensure the inclusivity of your events? If inclusion holds importance for your organization, it requires deliberate intention and a well-defined plan. It doesn't just happen. Have you as an attendee ever felt not welcome at a meeting? Felt like an outsider because no one talked to you. No one looks like you. With ever-increasing global and diverse audiences that bring different backgrounds and perspectives, how does the attendee make the decision to attend? The success of our events will be influenced by inclusion and engagement. Meeting and event designers, facilities, and ancillary services help participants achieve the desired professional development, business and networking objectives by creating the most welcoming and inclusive meetings and events. This diverse group of meeting and event professionals will further your comprehension and skills to achieve these outcomes. 🔴 Anticipate needs of expected meeting participants. 🔴Develop questions and criteria to select destinations and sites. 🔴Create program elements, select speakers, and create marketing designed to attract, engage, and reflect diverse audiences. 🔴Create strategy and focus to ensure people are and feel welcome from the first marketing during pre-event, during event and post event.
