We spend a lot of time helping organisations plan for improving accessibility, getting their key stakeholders on board, securing budget, and helping them develop Accessibility Centres of Excellence to drive consistent accessibility delivery.
But as you do this where you work, once you’ve achieved some of these milestones, how can you ensure your improved accessibility credentials are communicated as a benefit to your organisation, internally and externally?
In the last few years, we’ve seen (and driven) a rise in the recognition that accessibility is receiving publicly, in the Press and Awards.
So, in this session, we discuss how your organisation can get a piece of this growing interest in how organisations are delivering accessibility, and why communicating about the accessibility work you do could be as important as the work itself.Why communicating your accessibility wins is essential to attract users to use your website, app or tool Why it’s also essential for gaining continued buy-in from your internal stakeholders, and to encourage your team How to create an accessibility comms strategy and plan, leveraging opportunities like GAAD Hints and tips on how to enter and win awards for accessibility – the key way to gain external recognition for your work

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.
