Navigating the Digital Accessibility Landscape: Legal, Technical and Psychological Perspectives

In a world driven by technology, digital accessibility is a game changer.

From websites to mobile apps, every digital experience must be accessible to users, regardless of ability. However, it is often easy to completely overlook the barriers we might be unintentionally creating.

Explore digital accessibility in our webinar

Our webinar, Navigating the Digital Accessibility Landscape: Legal, Technical and Psychological Perspectives, was created to provide you with a strategic opportunity to help you expand your reach and enhance usability. We will explore the following four principles of accessibility as we look to create a better user experience (UX):

• Perceivable
• Operable
• Understandable
• Robust

Together with our partner UseTree GmbH, experts in UX and human-centered design, we will address both the technical and cognitive aspects of digital accessibility. We will help demystify the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and EU directives and uncover the real-world consequences of noncompliance. To help you understand what will be expected in the months and years ahead, our experts will also highlight upcoming regulatory deadlines.

Join us for this engaging session followed by an interactive Q&A. Register today.
