At TBEX North America in Richmond, accessibility is part of the hospitality experience, not an afterthought.

We’re proud to partner with Visit Richmond VA to help create a more welcoming conference environment for all attendees through several accessibility initiatives taking place throughout the event.

This year’s accessibility offerings, provided by Richmond, include:
• A dedicated Zen Zone quiet space in Room B15 of the convention center
• Live captions during keynote sessions
• Audio description support for attendees who are blind or have low vision
• Complimentary sensory support items available at the Visit Richmond information tables all conference long

Travel storytelling becomes stronger when more people can fully participate in the experience.
