IDEA Resource Hub

NIVA’s IDEA Committee has compiled this directory to support member organizations in advancing Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) across the live entertainment industry. This resource is intended to serve as a practical and evolving reference for venues, promoters, festivals, and industry professionals seeking to foster more equitable and inclusive practices. Whether you're in the early stages or looking to strengthen existing initiatives, the materials provided here offer guidance, tools, and strategies to inform and inspire meaningful progress.

We invite you to explore the directory, engage with the content, and integrate these resources into your organizational practices as we work together to create a more inclusive and accessible industry for all.
