Whether you’ve been an attendee or organizer at an online event, we’re sure you’ve heard—and, by now, almost memorized—this spiel. While they are simple reminders, ticking off these items at every event helps ensure that you are as welcoming and inclusive as possible.
Building these habits into your organization’s practices requires intentionality and consistency. As part of our commitment to promote Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) and a follow-up to our GEDSI checklist published earlier this month, we’ve gathered some lessons we learned from our partners in holding online events and turned them into a two-minute video to make it easier for you to remember and recap for your online attendees.
