Hot off the press, we’ve been asked to create a bespoke new session for businesses and organisations trading with EU customers, clients and partners. Check out the blurb below and get in touch if you’d like to find out more!
Getting Your Digital Communications ready for the EU Accessibility Act 2025
Work with clients and customers in the EU and want to make sure your current digital comms are ready for the new EAA Law deadline on the 28th June 2025? Nearly 1 in 5 Europeans have some form of disability that can be challenging to access digital communications and tools, and this Law is being enacted to cover not only public sector (which has been live since 2019), but is also now widening to include private sector businesses. Work with UK or non-EU audiences, but want to make sure your website, digital comms and resources are accessible for all anyway? Then this is the session for you.
Join DigiEnable for this empowering and insightful session, where we will look at what the EAA Law requires, and some simple steps to make sure you reach those standards across all your digital communications, promotional channels and online resources.
You’ll leave this session with a simple audit of your current digital communication methods and an easy-to-use checklist with tangible recommendations, that you can action on straight away after this session.
