As we continue down the road of readiness for the European Union Accessibility Act ahead of implementation on June 28, 2025, we take this opportunity to review progress and clarify developments over the last year. This webinar will highlight work taking place to support the creation of accessible published works under the Act, review the outcome of a recent survey and explore outstanding issues and challenges we have yet to overcome.
