Overview
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is a major step forward in promoting digital inclusivity across the EU, aligning with international standards such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and supporting the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). Whether your organisation is based in the EU or offers products/services to EU customers, compliance is essential- not just to meet legal requirements, but to reach a wider audience and deliver a better experience for everyone.
In this session, we’ll cover:
- What the EAA is, who it applies to, and why it matters
- Key deadlines and industries within its scope
- Practical steps to achieve compliance before June 2025
- How to train and equip your team with accessibility best practices
- Ongoing monitoring to maintain accessibility standards
This session is ideal for designers, developers, product owners, and management teams across all sectors. You’ll leave with clear, actionable steps to help your organisation meet EAA requirements and create inclusive digital experiences.
The webinar will start at 08:30am and last for 1 hour. A link to join the webinar will be sent to you after you have registered.
Free to attend – designed to inform, inspire, and spark conversation.
