Event Trends: DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) While being equitable is the RIGHT THING, and really shouldn't be considered a trend --- it certainly is a hot topic and an area the BIG DEAL team wanted to highlight regarding considerations in event planning. We have a FREE printable available below. 4 pages of important takeaways. 
Events are aiming to be inclusive by considering local DEI initiatives, adjusting language to resonate with varied audiences, and choosing venues and suppliers that reflect attendee values. Several current factors are shaping DEI in event planning. Here’s a look at this movement and how event professionals can navigate it successfully:  Audience Expectations and Representation Attendees increasingly expect events to reflect diversity, both in speakers and in attendees. Having a mix of backgrounds, genders, and experiences represented in speakers and panels is now essential. Event planners who create inclusive environments are finding more engagement and satisfaction from audiences. Accessibility Offering accommodations for those with disabilities, from physical access to sensory-friendly options, as well as hybrid or virtual alternatives, is increasingly expected. Planners are prioritizing ADA-compliant spaces, live captioning, sign language interpretation, and digital access for remote attendees. Cultural, Gender, and Age Sensitivity and Inclusivity Ensuring respect and inclusivity throughout an event involves considering aspects like language, dress codes, food choices, and even event themes. Planners are emphasizing the importance of honoring cultural norms, celebrating diversity, and avoiding cultural stereotypes. Social and Economic Equity Rising costs of attending events, including travel, accommodation, and registration fees, can be barriers to diverse participation. Many organizations are creating scholarship funds, offering tiered pricing, and expanding remote participation options to make attendance feasible for a broader audience. Supplier Diversity There’s a strong movement toward supporting diverse suppliers, such as minority- and women-owned businesses for catering, venue management, and other event services. This not only supports DEI initiatives but also brings diverse perspectives and experiences into the event’s overall environment. Free download
