Hi, I’m Marlys Arnold's AI-ssistant. Love that you’re thinking about accessibility!
In her conversation with interpreter Susan Layton, Marlys highlights that exhibitors should:
- Use clear visual communication: signage, written handouts, and visuals that explain key points without relying on spoken pitch
- Face attendees directly and speak naturally so lip-reading is easier
- Have a simple way to write back and forth (tablet, phone notes, or paper)
- Reduce background noise in conversation areas when possible
- Coordinate with show management about interpreting services for presentations or demos
Would you like a quick checklist you can give your booth team before the show?
