The sessions on Day 1 are short, providing you with concise and impactful content. Day 2 features two focused workshops that offer a deeper dive into Mental Health and Accessibility. Together, they provide hands‑on learning, real‑world tools, and stronger pathways to inclusion and wellbeing across your hotel.
