The benchmark event for corporate wellness, Ágora Bienestar, obtained the AIS certificate of accessibility with a grade of Excellence in its eighth edition. This is the second consecutive year in which this Congress achieves AIS certification.
AIS assesses the accessibility conditions of assets, services and products with a holistic view that includes physical, sensory and cognitive aspects.
Specifically, the AIS 1/2023 Standard, which applies to urbanized spaces, has a specific modality for Events and Congresses that has some particularities, such as its validity, which is limited to the duration of the event; and the limitations that come with a space that is not certified along with the development of the event.
Thanks to the commitment and commitment of the organizers, Ágora Bienestar participants were able to access and move around the event and enjoy the talks with the greatest possible degree of autonomy, taking into account the structural characteristics of the space where the event was held.

“The links between well-being and accessibility are now indisputable: can we be well in an environment that does not take into account the physical, cognitive and sensory needs of all people?” asked Esther Bienes Pinedo, director of Fundación para la Accesibilidad y la RS, the creator and international manager of the AIS certification system.
