11:00am – 12:00pm

Join accessibility experts from Eficode and Deque for a practical webinar on how to build sustainable digital accessibility at scale. Learn how to move beyond reactive compliance and manual testing by embedding accessibility into your design, development and DevOps processes from the start.

We’ll explore how a structured accessibility program and a clear roadmap can help your organization meet the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA) while building long-term capabilities that support accessible digital experiences.

Why attend:

  • Operationalize the EAA: Go beyond the basics of the European Accessibility Act and learn practical ways to integrate accessibility into everyday digital development.

  • Shift left for sustainable accessibility: Discover how to identify and address accessibility issues earlier in the design and development lifecycle, reducing reliance on manual testing and costly fixes later.

  • Build a long-term roadmap: Learn how to create a structured accessibility program that supports continuous improvement and sustainable compliance over time.

  • Learn from the experts: Get practical insights from Eficode and Deque on how technology, processes and ways of working can come together to scale digital accessibility.

Who should attend:

UX leaders, Technical and DevOps leads, Heads of Digital, QA Leads, Product Owners, and Legal & Compliance professionals who are responsible for digital accessibility, compliance, or the quality of digital services.

Whether your organization is just starting its accessibility journey or looking to scale existing practices, this webinar will provide practical guidance for building accessibility into your digital delivery process.
