NHC Event Professionals Affinity Group Meeting: Service Dogs vs. Support Animals: What Every Event Planner Should Know

The NHC’s Event Professionals Affinity Group consists of meeting and event planners who organize events for NHC member organizations, including patient organizations that advocate for people and their family caregivers living with chronic diseases and disabilities.

As the demand for inclusive and accessible events grows, understanding the legal and practical differences between service dogs and emotional support animals is essential for every event planner. This informative webinar will clarify the distinctions between these two types of assistance animals, including their rights under the ADA, how they should be accommodated at venues, and what planners need to know to ensure compliance. This webinar will equip you with the knowledge to navigate these situations with clarity and compassion.

This meeting is for NHC members only. Contact Racquel Codling, Senior Director of Meetings & Events, for more information.
