About the event

Practical Steps to Digital Accessibility

Accessibility isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s essential for business, compliance, and user experience.

About this Event

With the Equality Act, European Accessibility Act (EAA), and WCAG standards putting inclusion centre stage, organisations can’t afford to wait. Inaccessible websites risk losing customers, talent, and reputation, while accessible websites unlock opportunity.

Why Attend?

By attending, you’ll walk away with practical, actionable steps to:

Make your website usable for everyone – including people with disabilities, older users, and non-native speakers
Meet accessibility standards today and prepare for evolving laws and guidelines
Reduce barriers that frustrate users and lose business
Build confidence in planning or improving your digital platforms
