The Elsevier Conference team is committed to ensuring our events and associated services are accessible and easy to use by everyone, including people who may experience disabilities and or long-term health conditions.

Our accessibility guidelines:

We:

• Enable conference accessibility and usability through communication and by incorporating accessibility requirements from the start when we research our venues for events

• Design around users - continually test and incorporate event feedback, particularly from people with disabilities, to ensure an optimal delegate. presenter/exhibitor and or sponsor experience at all at our conferences

• Educate employees on accessibility and disability and its importance to our users and our business

• Advance accessibility knowledge by learning from customer needs and experiences and in collaboration with our venues.

• Make it easy for collaborators and delegates to quickly and openly communicate with us about the accessibility compliance of our conferences

• Maintain an Accessibility Working Group comprised of colleagues from our business units to share best practice and foster collaboration and innovation
