HIVE Accessibility Statement

Last updated: 09.12.25

HIVE is committed to ensuring that our website, digital content, and in-person events are accessible and welcoming to everyone. We believe creativity and community should be inclusive, and we strive to provide experiences that can be enjoyed by all individuals, regardless of ability.

Our Commitment

We aim to:

  • Provide equal access to information, services, and experiences

  • Follow recognised accessibility standards where possible

  • Continually improve accessibility across our website, social media, and events

  • Listen to and address accessibility needs and feedback

Website Accessibility

We work to ensure our website:

  • Is navigable using screen readers

  • Includes clear headings, alt text for images, and readable text

  • Uses colours and fonts with appropriate contrast

  • Functions well on mobile, tablet, and desktop

  • Avoids flashing or strobing content

If you experience difficulty accessing any part of our site, please let us know so we can address it promptly.

Event Accessibility

HIVE26 events aim to be as inclusive as possible. Accessibility features may include:

  • Step-free access or ramps where available

  • Wide pathways for movement around the venue

  • Accessible restrooms (venue-dependent)

  • Staff available to assist where needed

  • Clearly marked information points

  • Viewing areas for attendees with mobility needs

  • Consideration of sensory needs (e.g., quieter zones when possible)

We will provide venue-specific accessibility details in advance of each event.

If you require an accommodation to fully participate in an event, please reach out before attending. We will do our best to meet your needs.

Communication Support

We strive to make communication accessible by:

  • Offering information in clear, plain language

  • Responding to accessibility-related inquiries promptly

  • Providing alternative formats on request where feasible

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We regularly review our website, processes, and events to identify and remove barriers. We welcome community input as part of this commitment.

Feedback and Contact

We value your feedback. If you encounter an accessibility issue or have suggestions on how we can improve, please contact us

We aim to respond within a reasonable timeframe.
