The organisation, which campaigns for improved access to live music for deaf and disabled fans, is now an official sponsor of the event, which takes place on 20 October at Ministry of Sound, London.
The day will centre round panel discussions and presentations exploring the needs of small and medium sized venues across the UK and how best to support their future.
Attitude is Everything’s senior project manager Gideon Feldman will join the panel The Big Issues: Business Up – Be Inspired to explain the benefits of improved access to smaller venues.
Having joined the debate at last year’s inaugural event, Attitude is Everything has since signed a number of small venues to its Charter of Best Practice, showing their public commitment to improve their on-site access facilities.
In total, more than 100 festivals and venues have now signed up to the charter. However, as highlighted by this year’s Understanding Small Music Venues report by the Music Venue Trust, there is still significant scope for improvement – with more than a third of the small venues surveyed stating that they had no disabled access.
Suzanne Bull MBE, chief executive Attitude is Everything, said: ‘Working with smaller venues has become a real priority for Attitude is Everything. These places are the lifeblood of our music communities and it is essential that they can be as inclusive as possible.
‘There are a number of cost-effective and easy-to-implement changes that all live music promoters can make – and, as proven by ticket sales at our Charter venues and festivals, attracting greater numbers of disabled fans and disabled artists is not only good for their business, but for British music overall.’
