Session Description

In building community through the power of free, live music, Levitt venues and concert sites can be a beacon to help end the stigmatization of having a disability by more intentionally incorporating accessibility values into event operations—to foster a greater sense of belonging for all abilities and identities so every concertgoer can enjoy a safe, inclusive and amazing experience at Levitt concerts. The Accessible Event Planning session provided an in-depth discussion sharing best practices and tips for welcoming and interacting with disabled guests in a respectful, caring manner.
