SUMMARY:Breaking Down EN 301 549: The European Standard for Digital Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Presented on February 26\, 2025 at 10am ET\nPresenters: David Swallow\, Principal UX Consultant\, & Mitchell Evan\, Principal Accessibility Engineer \nWhile much of the conversation around accessibility standards in Europe over the last several years has been centered around the European Accessibility Act (EAA)\, it is actually not the first regulation for digital inclusion in the European Union. \nEN 301 549\, Europe’s digital accessibility standard\, establishes requirements for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) like computers and smartphones\, web and software applications\, and self-service kiosks. While this standard started out in regulations for public sector procurement and digital content\, today it influences accessibility policy beyond Europe. \nJoin TPGi’s accessibility experts to understand the EN 301 549 standard and learn how you can implement a comprehensive accessibility strategy for your digital assets. \nUnable to register?\nIf you are using Internet Explorer and have cookies disabled (either via privacy mode or decline cookies on the website)\, you may not be able to register through this form. \nIf you are still unable to register\, please email ida@tpgi.com with your name and contact information.
