In the vibrant world of club culture, disabled individuals are often overlooked, left out of the conversation, and excluded from experiences that should be accessible to all. This panel will shine a spotlight on the challenges faced by disabled people in nightlife spaces, discussing the systemic barriers that persist and the urgent need for inclusivity.

Join us as we explore the importance of designing accessible environments that cater to everyone, breaking down the stigma surrounding disability in club culture. Our panellists, featuring advocates and industry professionals, will share their insights on creating spaces that celebrate diversity and foster community.
