Navigating the European Accessibility Act
Speakers
The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is a groundbreaking legislative measure adopted by the European Union to enhance the accessibility of products and services for persons with disabilities across the EU market. From 28 June 2025, all EU member states will be required to implement the provisions of the EAA.
The EAA will impact a wide range of consumer-focused digital industries, including e-commerce, banking and payments, passenger transport, telecommunications, audiovisual media, and e-publishing as well as several devices for these sectors such as computers, tablets, smartphones, ATMs, payment terminals, ticketing and check-in machines, and e-readers.
In this webinar, our Bird & Bird experts will provide:
- An overview of accessibility obligations under the legislation
- Insights into the compliance landscape, including the products and services covered by the EAA
- Updates on future developments at both the EU and local levels
- Details on exceptions and exclusions under the EAA
- Practical steps to ensure compliance
This event is tailored for in-house counsel, compliance officers, product and business leaders, and heads of customer or digital experience.
