Rich James, Recruiting Enablement and Operations Director at Expedia Group will explore how the company’s commitment to accessibility runs deep, from internal initiatives such as investment in ERGs and inclusive hiring practices to how they connect with external audiences and build trust in their brand via accessible marketing strategies that resonate with all communities, not just a few. Whether you are looking to improve your own accessibility or reach a whole new audience, this is the conversation for you.
