SHAPING THE FUTURE OF EVENTS.

We empower organisations with the knowledge, tools, and support to advance diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility across their business and live events. 

We recognise that no two businesses are the same and that every organisation is at a different point on their DE&I journey.  This is why we offer non judgemental, industry specific, bespoke services that support and empower leaders and teams to cultivate diverse, inclusive, equitable and accessible workplaces and live events.

Why? Events should reflect the diverse people they serve and that's where Diversity Alliance comes in - We help companies cultivate inclusive workforces, debias decision-making processes, and design and deliver events that authentically represent all communities. 

The Meeting Industry Association (MIA) has launched a new Practical Guide to Accessible Events, developed with Gabrielle Austen-Browne of Diversity Alliance. The guide provides practical advice to help UK event professionals create fully inclusive experiences, meet legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010, and embed accessibility best practices across operations.

What event professionals gain from the guide:

• Practical steps to remove barriers for delegates, speakers, and employees with disabilities.

• Guidance to meet legal requirements under the Equality Act 2010.

• Insights into the moral and business case for accessibility, showing how inclusive design benefits all attendees.

• Strategies to enhance reputation and engagement in the meetings and events sector.

• Tools to embed accessibility from the start, creating better experiences for everyone.

Our guide on Ethical AI in Events, gives you the practical framework to harness AI's potential without compromising your DEI commitments. Written for MICE professionals, this actionable resource walks you through every stage from pre-training assessments and bias mitigation to building robust AI governance policies. 

​

Whether you're deploying your first chatbot or refining existing AI tools, this guide ensures your technology reflects your values, protects your brand, and advances true inclusion. Because in an industry built on human connection, your algorithmic choices define who you are.
