Event Disclaimer: Accessibility & Noise Levels
Our aim is to consider the needs of all our members and visitors to create an inclusive, welcoming environment at every event.
As we host events in different venues, noise levels and surroundings may vary. While we are mindful of this, networking and group gatherings can sometimes be loud, which we appreciate may be challenging for some individuals, including those who are hearing impaired, neurodiverse, or sensitive to sound.
If you require accommodations please speak to a member of the WAW team. A quieter space will be allocated or other adjustments made where possible.
Thank you for your understanding and for helping us make our events accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
