Business DisAbility Summit 2023: December 5, Bucharest

In an age where terms like “inclusivity”, “accessibility” and “sustainability” are becoming part of the global discourse, we aim to transcend to real action, the organizers of the DisAbility Summit 2023 state.

Official statistics indicate that 890,500 adults with disabilities live in Romania, of which:
• 300,000 are between the ages of 18 and 45,
• 33,571 are employed and have a job,
• 1,635 are employed in 387 protected units.

The Business DisAbility Summit is more than an event conceived, created and organized by people with disabilities who bring their unique expertise and experience to bear. It provides a platform to promote accessibility across all industries for a more inclusive and open marketplace.

Transforming Business Through Accessibility and Inclusion

At the heart of organizing the Business DisAbility Summit, the priority is to provide a truly inclusive and accessible experience for all participants. The organizers have thought through every detail to facilitate access and participation. In this conference, they focused efforts to ensure two essential aspects of accessibility:

  • Physical accessibility: Participants will benefit from easy access to the venue, a room set up for an inclusive environment, adapted sanitary facilities, accessible guided routes and doors with automatic opening based on sensors for a convenient and open experience for all.
  • Digital accessibility: We designed a website dedicated to the event that promotes an easy navigation experience for all users. Presentations will be available in easily accessible formats, and sign language interpretation will be available, ensuring authentic and immersive participation.

These efforts are reinforced with the commitment of our carefully chosen partners, who actively promote inclusion, accessibility and sustainability, providing participants with an authentic and enjoyable experience.

Conference Partners: Contributing to Inclusion and Accessibility

The organizers want the conference to hold a manifesto of inclusion and accessibility; being people with disabilities, they wanted to attract partners only from those who have already created a framework of inclusion and accessibility by implementing elements of physical or digital accessibility, turning the conference into a model of inclusion, accessibility and sustainability.

With this choice, they want to emphasize the importance of their partners in promoting a more inclusive and accessible environment. They appreciate their involvement, especially the decision to be part of this movement for a better society.
