This SIG is designed for professionals working in various capacities, who share an interest in inclusive language and terminology. The group will discuss the current landscape, best practices, challenges and solutions, and more. The intended output of this SIG is to create a series of useful resources such as practical guidance, glossaries and a database of people that could be contacted for guidance and expertise in this domain.

During our kick-off meeting, Amanda Hawthorne present will share EA's inclusive language strategy, followed by a discussion where attendees may share what inclusive language means to them and where they are in their journey.
