With different cultural backgrounds, several things matter. Think dietary requirements (halal, kosher, vegan), public holidays and religious moments, language barriers and social etiquette. For dietary requirements: ask proactively at registration and work with caterers who offer varied menus. For language: bring in interpreters and offer key information in multiple languages. For etiquette: don't make alcohol mandatory (many cultures don't drink) and ensure alcohol-free alternatives. Note: a handshake isn't universal. In some cultures, a nod is more appropriate. Avoid stereotypes in branding or theme choices. Ask your speakers and panellists which cultural matters are relevant to their presentation. Live Impact works with diversity advisers to build in cultural nuance.
