AccessibleEU Sweden - Electronic communication for all. A half-day conference about EAA for communication services (24-WS-SE-01)

This event is a joint effort by AccessibleEU and the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) and the trade association Svensk Tillgänglighet.

One of the aims of AccessibleEU is to facilitate implementation of EU regulation on Accessibility in member states. PTS, as a national regulator, has the same ambition, and so do the members of Svensk Tillgänglighet.

The impact of electronic communication on citizens, with or without disabilities, is huge. Almost everybody needs telecommunication services, and any accessibility problems can cause great frustration.

  • Target audience: Persons working in the telecom sector, and other electronic communication products or services affected by the EAA.
  • When: Tuesday, November 12, 2024
  • Where: Post- och telestyrelsen, Hälsingegatan 38, SE-113 43 Stockholm, Sweden.
  • Format: Hybrid
  • Type of event: Workshop and mutual learning session.
  • Language: Swedish.
  • How to participate: Watch here
  • Accessibility information: Accessible venue. Captioning and sign interpretation in Swedish.
