ΔΙΕΘΝΗΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΗΛΕΚΤΡΟΝΙΚΗ ΕΦΗΜΕΡΙΔΑ ΠΟΙΚΙΛΗΣ ΥΛΗΣ - ΕΔΡΑ: ΑΘΗΝΑ

Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

(Αν θέλεις να σε επαινούν, μάθε πρώτα να λες καλά λόγια, και αφού μάθεις να λες καλά λόγια, να κάνεις καλές πράξεις, και τότε θα ακούς καλά λόγια για εσένα).

BE The Wave: Beyond Ramps – Design for the Unseen


 Did you know the following three airports are gaining recognition as autism friendly Airports in Asia?


  • KLIA and KLIA 2 (Malaysia)
  • Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore)
  • Dubai International Airport (UAE)


These airports, with programs like the "Butterfly Effect" at KLIA and KLIA 2, are setting an example of inclusivity by supporting travellers with hidden disabilities. The Business Events Industry must follow to embrace this inclusion.


Join us for an essential Masterclass: Breaking the Surface: The Inclusive Event and Travel Experience.


Meet our speaker, Beatrice Leong—an autistic rights advocate and documentary filmmaker who is also founder of the Autism Inclusiveness Direct Action Group (AIDA). Beatrice shares her experience about the challenges of navigating her daily life, filmmaking work, workplace, and travel as an autistic person.

This is more than compliance to standards; this is strategic inclusion. Learn to look beyond physical access (like wheelchair ramps) to address the emotional and sensory barriers that exclude people with invisible disabilities. Small, intentional design choices are the next frontier in event excellence.


What You Will Gain:

Deep Insight: Gain insights as she runs through her experiences in different spaces, highlighting where interventions can happen and guiding participants through how to make events and spaces inclusive and accessible.

Actionable Toolkit: Explore how communication itself can drive inclusion. Learn to use disability-inclusive language and framing, based on inclusive communication principles,to reshape narratives, promote respect, and create a sense of belonging for all.

If you are in events, hospitality, travel and tourism industry, join us! This is the first time we are featuring such an essential topic in our industry.

Be The Change. Join the Wave of Inclusive Design.
