Frequently asked questions about Accessibility

Accessibility

Here you will find answers to some of the most common questions we receive from our guests regarding accessibility.
Can you provide assistive devices for people with visual impairments?

Unfortunately, we do not have any aids for people with visual impairments.



Is it possible to customise the lighting and sound levels of the rooms?

All rooms have customisable lighting. The sound is also easily adjusted inside each room.



Can you get accessibility information before an event?

Please contact us if you require accessibility information or have any questions regarding this.



Are there rest rooms or quiet spaces for guests who need them?

If necessary, we can usually arrange for a quiet room, but this is not standard.



How do you deal with urgent medical needs or situations?

All staff receive regular training in first aid and CPR and we practise at regular intervals. First aid boards are placed in selected locations. Evacuation plans are available on all floors of the building.



Do you offer assistance for people who have difficulties navigating the building?

Staff are always available if someone needs help locating themselves on our site.



Are the premises adapted for accessibility?

As the building dates from the late 19th century, it is not 100% adapted for accessibility, for example there are thresholds to some rooms. There is a lift, disabled toilets and a ramp for the entrance stairs.



How to address special needs and accessibility for participants?

If we are informed in advance, we prepare in the best possible way for participants with special needs.



Is the IVA Conference Centre accessible for wheelchair users?

There is a ramp for the entrance stairs, a lift and disabled toilets.



Are there hearing loops in the conference rooms?

Our auditorium, Wallenberg Hall, has a hearing loop.



What is the accessibility of toilet facilities for people with disabilities?

Two disabled toilets are located on different levels.



Are there parking spaces for people with disabilities?

The nearest parking for people with disabilities is on Humegårdsgatan, a few minutes' walk from the IVA Conference Centre.



Can you provide information in easy-to-read Swedish?

Most of our information is available in easy-to-read Swedish. If you have specific requests, we will of course produce material.



Do you offer sign language interpretation for events and conferences?

No, but please contact an agency for this if necessary.
