Diversity & Inclusion at RIMPA Live Convention 2026

Creating a more inclusive and welcoming event for everyone! As the RIMPA Global Diversity & Inclusion Committee, we want RIMPA Live to be an event where everyone can participate, connect and feel comfortable.

In preparation for RIMPA Live 2026, we are introducing practical initiatives to support attendees with different accessibility and sensory needs.


Initiative 1: Quiet Space

Attendees with a non-visible disability may choose to wear a Hidden Disabilities Sunflower pin as a discreet way of indicating that they may need additional understanding, assistance or time. Pins can be purchased through the official Hidden Disabilities Sunflower website.

Initiative 2: Quiet Space

A dedicated quiet zone will be available for anyone needing a quieter environment or a moment away from the main event. Please visit the registration desk for information about its location.


A little kindness makes a big difference

If you see someone wearing a Sunflower Pin Badge or Wristband, please remember that not every disability is visible.

Be patient, respectful and considerate. If someone indicates they need support, ask how you can help rather than making assumptions. Above all, respect their privacy and choices.
