Accessibility to Events

Direct Access supports organisations in designing and delivering fully accessible events, whether for short-term projects or long-term programming.

At Expo 2020 Dubai, our full-time team provided on-site guidance, developing staff and volunteer training, establishing Key Performance Indicators, and advising on the curation and accessibility of the entire event.

Our consultancy experience spans a wide range of events, from school fairs and large-scale exhibitions to outdoor festivals and formal occasions. Notably, we worked with the British Embassy in Abu Dhabi to ensure accessibility for the Queen’s Birthday Party, demonstrating our ability to combine meticulous planning with inclusive event design at every scale.

Accessibility to Any Kind Of Facilities

Outdoor festivals have numerous obstacles to overcome to provide access for disabled people such as the provision of temporary facilities, toilets, rough terrain, required acoustics, weather and untrained staff members. Some events will also require potential sign language content.

We understand these challenges and strive to make events accessible for all with the available budgets.
