In today’s digital landscape, accessibility isn’t a luxury – it’s a critical business imperative and an investment. An investment in broader market reach, reduced legal risk, and genuinely inclusive digital experiences.
Our “Accessibility Nightmares” webinar pulls back the curtain on the types of real-world accessibility disasters that have cost companies millions, damaged reputations, and left users frustrated and excluded.
Here our consultants Rob Wemyss and Jonathan Hassell tell the stories of how we’ve helped some organisations facing these challenges turn them into triumphs, including:SaaS disasters – the impact of accessibility fails on both buyer and vendor PR failures – when poor accessibility hits the press, brand damage follows fast Lawsuit landmines – how to make lawsuits work for you EAA complacency – is your disaster just a month away? Rob shares our transformation playbook – an approach to turning round disasters which mirrors Gordon Ramsey’s classic kitchen makeovers:Brutal honesty assessment Rapid remediation strategies Cultural transformation Are you ready to turn your digital accessibility nightmare into a success story?

Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) sparks many important conversations about accessibility. But once the awareness day is over, the practical questions begin. Questions like: Where should we start? How do we get leadership to care? How do we secure budget? What should we focus on when resources are tight? How is AI changing accessibility? How do we hold suppliers accountable for accessibility? How do we challenge misconceptions about accessible design? In this special ‘Ask Us Anything’ session, Jonathan Hassell and consultants from Hassell Inclusion answer these questions submitted by attendees and share practical advice based on the challenges organisations are facing right now.
Making events and meetings accessible for all is something we’re asked about again and again. Whether it’s a team meeting, a webinar, a workshop in your offices, or a large conference, ensuring people with disabilities can fully participate isn’t optional.
In the current business climate, continuing accessibility progress can feel uncertain in many organisations. Budgets are tighter. Priorities are shifting. And, in some cases, the momentum that once existed around accessibility is starting to slow – or even move backwards.
Building on our 2025 webinar, Creating Accessible Documents, this session moves the conversation forward.
Each year, digital accessibility evolves – new technologies emerge, regulations shift, and organisations adapt to rising expectations from customers, employees, and stakeholders.
