D/deaf access to events has come a long way in recent years, thanks to advancements in technology and increased awareness about inclusivity and the Deaf community. Event organisers are becoming more proactive in providing accommodations, such as Sign Language Interpreters, In- vision interpreting, captioning services etc. ensuring that D/deaf individuals can fully participate and enjoy the experience. The availability of these services has opened up a whole new world of opportunities for D/deaf people to attend a wide range of events, from concerts and theatre performances to conferences and sporting events. The key is to continue educating event organisers and the general public about the importance of D/deaf access, so that it becomes a standard practise across all events, creating equal opportunities for all individuals.
