How to Drive Event Inclusion with RX’s Ray Rhodes

RX’s Guide to Inclusive Events has helped event professionals around the world embed accessible and inclusive practices into their experiences, from major consumer and trade shows to niche industry gatherings.  

For example, at PAX Australia, a celebration of gaming and gaming culture, RX integrated quiet spaces, accessible services and community areas that affirm and celebrate diversity in gaming culture. The feedback from attendees has been overwhelmingly positive, demonstrating how inclusive design can elevate the event experience for everyone.  

“Inclusivity expands your reach and relevance,” Ray Rhodes, RX’s Head of Diversity and Inclusion, explained. “When people feel seen, respected and catered to, they’re more likely to attend, engage, recommend your event and come back. Representation of different perspectives on our stages broadens diversity of thought and may mean the difference between a customer choosing to attend or not.
