On Thursday June 23rd, Marketing Director/Event Producer, Fatima Mechtab presented at the 38th Annual Guelph Sexuality Conference. The theme of this year’s conference was ‘Pleasure,’ and Fatima developed a topic entitled ‘Inclusivity & Pleasure-Barriers, Challenges & Rewards Inside Oasis Aqualounge.’ This presentation aimed to address the broad concept of inclusivity as relates to a business such as Oasis Aqualounge. It posed such questions as: how does a business strive to be inclusive when faced with such issues of accessibility and how can a business maintain the needs of it’s core demographic while expanding to include other identities and interests?
This talk was delivered at Rozanski Hall inside Guelph University. Other sex-positive community members and educators were also present including Carlyle Jansen and Dr. Jessica O’Reilly. The presentation was 75 minutes in length, which included a section for Q & A. A diverse group of attendees were present and engaged the speaker with interesting and challenging questions. The conference allowed a wonderful opportunity to discuss the progress of Oasis Aqualounge in terms how inclusive the business has become, over the past 5 years.
We look forward to presenting again and want to thank the organizers for allowing Oasis Aqualounge to be a part of this year’s conference.
