What does it take to move beyond accessibility and create a world where everyone truly belongs? Gordon Hartman, Founder and Chairman of Morgan’s, who considers his most important title to be “Morgan’s Dad,” shares how a heartbreaking experience involving his daughter inspired him to create Morgan’s Wonderland, an ultra-accessible, fully inclusive theme park that has welcomed more than 3.8 million visitors from all 50 states and 123 countries. With an estimated 65 million Americans and 1.2 billion people worldwide living with special needs, Gordon believes meaningful inclusion is both a societal imperative and a tremendous opportunity for business leaders. What began as a single idea has grown into an organization spanning recreation, sports, hospitality, healthcare and other aspects of everyday life. Gordon explains why inclusion must mean shared experiences rather than separate accommodations, how listening to those you serve can transform an entire project, and why even small design changes can create extraordinary opportunities for businesses and communities.
