AccessibleEU Netherlands - GAAD Meetup Utrecht – Putting the European Accessibility Act into Action (25-NW-NL-01)

Abra together with AccessibleEU are co-hosting an inspiring and hands-on event to celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). 

The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is on the horizon. But what does that actually mean in practice? Where do you start? And how do you turn accessibility into a solid business case, not just a checklist? During this event, we’ll explore these questions together with real users and experts in the field. Expect practical tips, real experiences, and useful tools to help you move forward.

The event is about acting 

Get hands-on insights with short, practical sessions. You will learn about topics like:

  • What the EAA really means
  • How to start with accessibility in your organization
  • Building a business case for accessibility
  • Monitoring and improving accessibility in apps
  • Automatically testing the accessibility of apps

Live feedback from users & experts

There will be experts that will be able to answer all your questions about the EAA. Bring your app and get feedback on accessibility from people with lived experience and accessibility experts. Abra will run a workshop on automated accessibility testing for apps.

Networking & drinks

Connect with others in the accessibility space, ask your questions, and enjoy good conversations over drinks and bites.

With leading accessibility companies, including Abra, AccessibleEU, Accessibility Foundation, Polteq, Q42 and Swink we invite you to join us for an afternoon full of insights, action, and connection.
