✨ Inclusion and accessibility stole the spotlight for our high-value North American clients at IMEX America 2024!   Our very own Gemma Wood, ACB’s Manager - Business Development, joined forces with Tourism New Zealand at this leading industry trade show.   💡 What was the key takeaway from the event's many valuable discussions?   "A hot topic was ‘Inclusion and Accessibility’ in events. As an individual's needs are often hard to articulate on a business event registration, as an industry we need to be proactive to be inclusive. Considering the needs of others should be standard," says Gemma.   #IMEXAmerica #businesseventsnz #aucklandnz #bettertogether
