LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Event Solutions, a leading corporate event planner today announced a new partnership with Aira, a company specializing in real-time visual interpreting. This collaboration empowers Event Solutions to offer businesses a comprehensive solution for making their corporate events and meetings more inclusive and accessible for the blind and low vision community.

"At Event Solutions, we believe that everyone deserves to participate in meaningful events," says Brad Lipshy, CEO at Event Solutions. "Our partnership with Aira allows us to go beyond traditional accessibility measures and provide real-time visual support that fosters a truly inclusive environment for all attendees of our clients' events."

Through Aira's innovative platform, the blind and low vision community can connect with highly trained, remote visual interpreters who provide live visual descriptions of their surroundings. This service extends beyond the event venue itself. Imagine a blind employee attending a company retreat at a new location. With Aira's assistance, they can navigate the unfamiliar environment from arrival to their designated lodging with greater confidence and independence.

Aira's real-time visual interpreting goes even further, enhancing the experience within the event space. Many corporate events and meetings rely heavily on visual presentations – PowerPoint slides, videos, and printed handouts – to complement verbal communication. For blind or low vision attendees, these visuals can be a barrier to understanding the complete picture. Aira bridges this gap by providing live descriptions of the visual components, allowing attendees to follow along, grasp concepts, and make connections more effectively. This fosters a more inclusive and enriching experience for everyone involved.

"We are thrilled to partner with Event Solutions to make corporate events more accessible," says Everette Bacon, VP of Blindness Initiatives at Aira. "By providing real-time, on-demand visual interpreting, we can help ensure that everyone feels welcome, included, and empowered to participate."

This partnership signifies Event Solutions' commitment to creating inclusive event experiences that cater to the diverse needs of all attendees. By incorporating Aira's services, Event Solutions empowers businesses to host events that are not only engaging but also accessible for a wider audience, fostering a more inclusive and equitable event environment.
