Here is some of the research that Song's company has done showing the openness of exhibitors to create unique experiences outside of their booths...
Plus, an example of what those experiences could be (in this case, a branded taxi/ride share).

Want to make your #DEI efforts more visible at your next event?
Maybe an "equity hub" like the one Kent's team is planning for their show (see pic) would be a good fit...
#HCEA#EventProfs
I especially liked this note, from Kent, about how his organization is always looking for new ways to create "mutual wins" for them and their exhibitors...

Next up, a "hybrid" session (half live, half pre-recorded) on #sustainability...
Wondering how that works? Here's a picture of the pre-recorded part that they're playing for us now:

Michael suggests making it a positive (want to do) vs. a "have to do" and celebrating those who are contributing :)
Comment from the audience notes that internal use may help in identifying needs/priorities vs. only external (attendees, partners, etc.)
#HCEA#DEI
And, for supplier partners...
Jeannie suggests:
1. Be proactive in incorporating accessible elements
2. Watch your word choice
Lisa adds: confirm recommendations fit accessibility needs
Ryan adds: expand reach of RFP process (ask local chamber for recs, if needed)
#HCEA#DEI
What can orgs do to address #DEI needs?
Jeannie says:
1. Reach out to exhibitors to show where they can partner in solutions
2. Set example w/ inviting attendees, including accommodations...
Lisa notes: distances, elevator access, affordable hotels are all important too

"This doesn't end... it's a continuum... can you afford not to?" - Ryan re: how much focus on #DEI is needed (e.g. where does it end? how much will it cost?)
Then, she continues with a starting point for all: ask "what can you do with what you have now? And then iterate."
