AccessibleEU France - Design for All: Accessibility in action! (25-NW-FR-01)

Organised by Orange in partnership with AccessibleEU and L’École de Design Nantes Atlantique, this full-day event highlights how accessibility is becoming a strategic lever for innovation and inclusion within major organisations.

It aims to bring together all professionals shaping tomorrow’s experiences: designers, developers, project managers, UX experts, and product or content managers, interested in concrete solutions, practical methodologies,
and real-world use cases — with a hands-on, action-oriented approach.

Against the backdrop of the upcoming enforcement of the European Accessibility Act, this day seeks to showcase the strategies, tensions, and concrete solutions deployed within large organizations to turn accessibility into a true driver of transformation.

The event will explore—and foster discussion around—how to:
. Deploy accessibility across the entire user experience chain, from content to physical and digital interfaces;
. Foster cross-disciplinary collaboration in complex contexts to move forward together;
. Go beyond compliance to build truly inclusive experiences;
. Assert the value of accessible design within organizations facing operational and cultural challenges.

Through real cases and shared expertise, this event illustrates how accessibility is embedded at the core of innovation, user-centered design, and organizational transformation.
