  • Accessible ​Events & Meetings​

    Accessible ​Events & Meetings​
    Sep 14 2026
    Making events and meetings accessible for all is something we’re asked about again and again. Whether it’s a team meeting, a webinar, a workshop in your offices, or a large conference, ensuring people with disabilities can fully participate isn’t optional.

    But, in practice, it’s not always clear what “accessible” really means – or where to start.

    In this session we explore how to make your in-person, hybrid and digital meetings and events accessible. We look at:
    • Who needs accessible events, and what are the cost-benefits of meeting their needs?
    • How to assess and choose accessible venues
    • Making pre-event communications, presentations, and recordings accessible
    • Ensuring inclusive interactions in meetings and events

  • Help! Accessibility is going in the wrong direction where I work. What can I do about it?

    Help! Accessibility is going in the wrong direction where I work. What can I do about it?
    Aug 14 2026
    In the current business climate, continuing accessibility progress can feel uncertain in many organisations. Budgets are tighter. Priorities are shifting. And, in some cases, the momentum that once existed around accessibility is starting to slow – or even move backwards.

    You might be seeing signs of this where you work: accessibility no longer feels like a priority to your leaders; they want it to be as cheap as possible; so responsibility sits with one person, without good tools or the support needed to make change happen. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

    In this session, we explore the business reasons why this is happening. And, more importantly, the mindset change you need to make to help your stakeholders understand that accessibility can be part of the route to your organisation’s business goals, so its costs can result in the sort of Return on Investment that gains funding.

    We looked at how to turn around your stakeholders’ mindsets in 5 key areas:
    1. Stakeholders keep on changing their mind about accessibility, based on whether there’s any new legislation
    2. They think accessibility is now ‘done’ so we can focus on something else, rather than understanding work needs to continue
    3. They think it’s just about ‘compliance’, when that won’t give us much Return on Investment
    4. They want to do accessibility the cheapest way, buying the cheapest audits or tools, when that just makes my job harder
    5. They think I can do accessibility all on my own, when I need other people to get it into processes
    Here we give you practical, realistic ways to move forward – even when the environment around you feels challenging.

  • Document Accessibility in 2026

    Document Accessibility in 2026
    Jul 14 2026
    Building on our 2025 webinar, Creating Accessible Documents, this session moves the conversation forward.

    In 2026, evolving legislation, growing scrutiny, and rising expectations mean organisations must think more strategically about their documents and alternative formats. It’s no longer just about fixing PDFs. It’s about governance, legal risk, user experience – and increasingly, the intelligent use of AI.

    In this webinar, we explore:
    • How AI can support document testing and help users interact more effectively with content
    • What new and evolving standards and legislation mean for your documents
    • Why documents matter in the user journey, and how to ensure they support, rather than block, accessibility
    • How to choose the right format, when PDFs are appropriate, and when another format is the better option
    You’ll also see recent legal challenges involving inaccessible documents, a practical case study on reducing reliance on PDFs and a clear, guide to improving document accessibility across your organisation.
