Enterprising for Tomorrow 2026 will include concrete accessibility measures

Enterprising for Tomorrow 2026, the conference that will take place on 19 May 2026 in Iași, explicitly embraces accessibility as a built-in part of the event. This year the conference is co-organized together with AccessibleEU, and it features a number of concrete measures aimed at making participation easier and safer for people with diverse needs.

This approach is in line with the conference’s broader theme, which is dedicated to a more inclusive economy, and with the organizers’ commitment to turning principles of inclusion into tangible organizing practices.

What the accessibility measures include

Participants can indicate their specific accessibility needs during the registration process. For the 2026 edition the following facilities are planned:

• Multiple elements to ensure the physical accessibility of the venue
• Romanian Sign Language interpretation
• Live subtitling
• A quiet room
• The option to participate online

The event also has a dedicated page about the accessibility measures where participants can find useful information on the conditions for participation and the support available.

Why it’s important to think about accessibility

Accessibility remains, for many public events, an insufficiently developed or marginally treated component. Integrating it from the planning phase is essential to ensure equal participation and reduce the barriers faced by people with disabilities.

Barriers can appear in many forms, from physical access to a space to access to information, communication and interaction, affecting the experience and full participation in events. A structured and proactive approach to accessibility contributes not only to the inclusion of people with disabilities but also to creating events that are better organized, easier to use and more relevant for all participants.

Who supports this initiative

The European Accessibility Resource Centre, AccessibleEU, co-organizer of the event, is an initiative of the European Commission dedicated to promoting accessibility at the European Union level. Its involvement in Enterprising for Tomorrow 2026 reflects a commitment to embedding accessibility concretely in event organization, consistent with European principles and requirements.

The organizers aim for accessibility to be integrated from the planning phase, as a natural part of the participation experience rather than an afterthought.

An event open to a wider audience

Through the integrated accessibility measures, Enterprising for Tomorrow 2026 addresses a broader and more diverse audience, offering participation conditions tailored to varied needs. This effort reflects a responsible approach to event organization, where accessibility is part of quality and not something added later.

On 19 May 2026, in Iași and online, the conference aims to bring together discussions on social economy, innovation and impact, in a format designed to facilitate the participation of as many people as possible.
