Martin Austin MBE and Mark Briggs PLY representing Nimbus and the Access Card in Westminster today. The sun even came out to say hello!
We were incredibly grateful to be hosted by Amanda Solloway at The Palace of Westminster today. Amanda's been a massive supporter of Nimbus Disability and our ever expanding #AccessCard scheme and we're looking forward to launching something together shortly. Enormous thanks to Tam Traynor for the expert guided tour of both Houses of Parliament - 10/10 on Trip Advisor! Would highly recommend! It was also a pleasant surprise to bump into Charlie Bethel, who's UK Men's Sheds Association project should be on the radar of anyone exploring health and wellbeing

The whole team did us proud last week across 2 amazing conferences!
Last week was quite a week for us at Nimbus Disability and The Access Card We split ourselves over 2 conferences simultaneously. First was #naidex where a mass of staff from the Access Card team talked non-stop for 2 days to thousands of disabled people directly about the scheme. Next was #TPC2024 where the Nimbus team talked, again non-stop, for 2 days about our various ticketing integrations and opportunities for venues and ticketing systems to streamline booking for disabled people. We also got to demo our full Spektrix Integration. This video captures the energy - we were buzzing the whole time!
Nimbus & The Access Card - Conference Season!

At #TPC2024 we had some great conversations with lots of eager Spektrix venues looking to complete integration with the #AccessCard We're just finishing up the onboarding process and going into a live real-world integration with The Customs House and in the meantime want to make sure we can capture the details of the other venues that want to be involved when we go live. If you're a Spektrix venue and want to be on the first rollout, please complete this register of interest. https://lnkd.in/evEiJAPk

Our latest Ambassador, Emma, talks about her love of the Theatre and her Access Card! https://lnkd.in/eH4Wwmdt Massive thanks to Delfont Mackintosh Theatres Ltd. for being an Access Card partner and supporting the filming of this video. The role of an Access Card ambassador is, in part, to show other disabled people that there's a whole range of opportunities and adventures to be had. We hope that anyone watching who's never thought of going to the theatre gets that extra nudge of confidence thanks to Emma.

It's been a busy few days for the team in Birmingham!
Well, I've been going to Ticketing Professionals Conference for a number of years but this one was something else. After finishing up at the Naidex Expo on the other side of the NEC campus we split the team - 7 staff onsite on an Access Card stand at one end and us at TPC at the other! Thrilled to hear Scott Whitehouse (Birmingham Hippodrome) and Katie Moffat (Substrakt) running a session on their integration with Nimbus Disability Also thrilled to properly present our Spektrix integration in full living colour! Thanks to Tom Nolan and co for working with our amazing team to get this done. We met so many venues over the last couple of days and are looking forward to hearing from you all and getting your access schemes set up and running! Massive thanks to Mark Briggs PLY and Sally Austin for talking nonstop for 3 days! #TPC2024
