About this Event
Turning Good Intentions into Real Impact: Accessibility & Inclusion in Practice
Inclusivity doesn’t just happen—it’s built with care and intention. Join us in Groningen for two days of practical, evidence-based sessions led by lived experience experts.
This event is designed for professionals who want to move beyond awareness and embed accessibility into everyday practice. Across six interactive sessions, you’ll explore:
- Digital accessibility and information clarity beyond compliance
- Neurodivergence and workplace inclusion
- Mental health, burnout and suicide prevention
- Designing systems and environments that work for everyone
You’ll leave with actionable strategies, real-world insights, and the confidence to turn good intentions into measurable impact.

- Gain practical tools for auditing, consulting, and embedding accessibility
- Understand the biggest barriers to inclusion—and how to overcome them
