Trends in Digital Accessibility for 2024 – what you need to know

2023 was a big year for accessibility, with more and more companies committing to get accessibility right, WCAG 2.2 slightly moving the goalposts, and different AIs proving useful tools for accessibility or total red-herrings.

In this essential webinar, our CEO Jonathan Hassell looks back at what we learned about what’s working best to help organisations deliver in accessibility in 2024, and how we believe new technologies, devices, laws and regulations will impact organisations in the next 12 months. It could be the most important thing you watch about accessibility all year.

Here’s a flavour of some of the topics we covered:

  • How accessibility can help you support the needs of vulnerable and ageing audiences – which are hot for 2024
  • How the European Accessibility Act and the DOJ NPRM are making private companies engage more with accessibility in Europe and the USA
  • Why accessibility is now essential for SAAS vendors and their clients
  • How AI, kiosks and EVs are influencing how you need to think about accessibility in user interfaces
  • Why the most important new assistive technologies could be to interface with real-world experiences, not websites
  • Which roles in an Accessibility Centre of Excellence are the safest from AI “stealing your job”
