    From DisabilityIN's press release: 

    Fourteen years in the making, Google released its "Inclusive Event Design Guide" last fall to support event professionals in creating in-person, virtual and hybrid programs that are inclusive and accessible for all attendees.

    As part of its "All In" toolkit for marketing inclusion, the continuously evolving, U.S.-focused guide was developed in partnership with ADCOLOR, Disability:IN, GLAAD and the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding. It offers best practices, recommendations and standards across 21 sections covering topics like attendee list development, badges, music, neurodiversity, signage design, supplier diversity and swag. For instance, "signage should have a non-glare finish and have enough color contrast to be read easily," or "include best practices about inclusive language in brand ambassador and staff training guides."
