This Guide provides meeting organisers with step-by-step, comprehensive advice for the planning of disability-inclusive meetings. The Guide builds on the Incheon Strategy goals to promote the participation of persons with disabilities in decision-making processes and to enhance the accessibility to both the physical environment and knowledge as well as information and communication services. Crucially, the Guide reaffirms that meetings across all themes are enriched by the full and equal participation of persons with disabilities.
Chapters contain principles and practical advice to support meeting organizers in the planning process as well as during the meetings themselves. There are a series of checklists at the end of the Guide, to provide specific guidance in addition to that which is offered in the main chapters. These checklists build on the themes of each chapter, providing point-by-point actions that should be taken in order to effectively plan and conduct disability-inclusive meetings
