What are Good Access events like?

Whether you join us in the historic heart of Groningen or via our digital classroom, our events are designed to be the bridge between “wanting to do better” and “knowing how.”

At Good Access, we don’t just host events; we build the bridge between wanting to do better and achieving measurable, impactful change. Our sessions are led by experts with lived experience, designed to turn accessibility from a “tick-box” exercise into a strategic driver for your organisation.

In-Person

Our physical events, like the Groningen Conference, are intimate by design. We choose venues with character, like the industrial Norman warehouse, to foster genuine connection.

Expect high-level networking, expert curation from our CEO, Heike, and a schedule that respects your time and energy. We prioritise accessibility not as an afterthought, but as the foundation of the experience.

Online

Our workshops are the antithesis of the “passive webinar.” They are hands-on, evidence-based, and focused on immediate implementation. You will work through real-world case studies and leave with frameworks you can apply to your project the very next morning.

A third person in the background listens attentively. Papers and notebooks lie on the table in front of them.

Led by Lived Experience

The defining feature of any Good Access event is our speakers. We believe the most effective training comes from those who navigate the world differently. Our neurodivergent and disabled experts provide insights that you won’t find in a standard textbook or “tick-box” seminar.

Don't just take our word for it:
