Promoting Inclusivity and Accessibility in the workplace
19-20 March 2025 | NEC Birmingham
Promoting Inclusivity and Accessibility in the workplace
The Business Without Barriers Summit and Careers Fair is where businesses of all sizes go to learn about accessibility, find accessibility solution consultancy and third-party support functions. The Careers fair enables you to engage with highly talented disabled jobseekers.
The event is free to attend and offers an interactive conference programme for business leaders, HR professionals and accessibility advocates to exchange insights, share success stories, and refine strategies to engage with the 'untapped workforce'. As an added bonus, we are hosting a careers fair, offering you the opportunity to network with potential candidates and tap into a pool of exceptional talent.
Access to work, consultancy agencies and assistive tech companies will be showcasing their services in the Business without Barriers area, supporting you in creating an accessible and inclusive workplace.
