Engaging the voices of disabled people

Facilitated by Stuart Moore

In this webinar, we will explore the strategic importance of building engagement with disabled people – how listening to and acting upon diverse perspectives can help drive forward inclusive businesses. In a world that continues to increase its reliance upon AI and digital technology, we will consider how engagement and coproduction can create disability-inclusive transformation. We will also present top-tips on how companies can achieve effective and meaningful engagement, recognising the diversity and intersectionality within disability.
