What’s your game-plan for digital accessibility for 2026?
If your ambition’s bigger than your budget, you’re not alone. Many teams struggle to turn good intentions into funded actions, and with new regulations and rising expectations, it’s more important than ever to work to maximise your budget, and spend it in the right places.
This webinar will equip you to speak the language of leadership to shape a strategy that unlocks investment for accessibility initiatives that deliver real impact – our Chief Product Office, Peter Bricknell covered: How to align accessibility with your organisation’s strategic priorities – positioning your plan as essential, not optional Making the business case for accessibility – showing how inclusive design drives competitive advantage and customer trust Identifying high-visibility wins – actions that will deliver measurable results and make accessibility tangible Building a standards-driven roadmap – leveraging ISO 30071-1, the European Accessibility Act, and frameworks from Canada and France to craft a world-class strategy.
If your goal is to move from good intentions to real impact in 2026, this is a great place to start – it will help you develop a plan that aligns with your organisations values, unlocks funding, and achieves results.

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.
