Free Webinar: European Accessibility Act—Considerations for the Publishing Industry and Benefits to Consumers Globally

The DAISY Consortium has announced the launch of a series of free weekly webinars on accessible publishing and reading in response to the multiple challenges being faced by conferences around the world due to Coronavirus, as well as feedback from the wider DAISY community expressing interest in online training resources.

New accessibility legislation is being implemented across Europe which is likely to have broad implications for the publishing industry. This session will:

• Introduce the legislation, outline its broad aims and timeline for implementation
• Discuss the intended benefits consumers are likely to encounter throughout Europe and how these may have global implications
• Highlight some of the considerations for publishers, retailers, technology companies and others involved in the industry
• Offer practical advice for finding further information and following developments
