Be YOU

At RX events - everyone belongs. We cultivate a culture of inclusion at all our events, where the very things that make each of us unique are celebrated. Our exhibitors, attendees, partners and event colleagues are people from a wide variety of backgrounds, who make our shows stronger and our collective experience richer.  

Below is a list of items we have made available at our events in Australia to ensure that our events are accessible and inclusive wherever possible. 

Inclusivity isn't a buzzword; it's our commitment. Learn more about what RX Global is doing.
