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.


Why attend?
  • Learn from experts who combine lived experience with evidence-based practice
  • Gain practical tools for auditing, consulting, and embedding accessibility
  • Understand the biggest barriers to inclusion—and how to overcome them

Dates: 14–15 April 2026
Location: Groningen (venue details coming soon)
