University of Leeds Conferences and Events has been recognised for its outstanding contribution to promoting diversity, equity and inclusion.
The team received the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Award at the miaList 2023 awards, organised by the Meetings Industry Association.
The Conferences and Events team has gone beyond its role as a host venue by championing improved access initiatives across the sector.
This includes a long-standing partnership with Communication Matters, an organisation that supports people who find it hard to communicate because they have little or no speech. The 2023 conference was the 12th year that the event has been held at the University of Leeds.
The team has been supported Conference Leeds, the city’s destination bureau.
