Accessibility training: Act now or pay tomorrow
Accessibility in Digital: The Why, The How, The Now
With the European Accessibility Act coming into effect in June 2025, accessibility will no longer be optional—it will be a legal requirement for digital products and services across the EU. Businesses, designers, and product teams must act now to avoid costly redesigns and compliance issues down the line.
But accessibility isn’t just about compliance. It’s a critical skill for building ethical, inclusive, and future-ready digital products. Upskilling in accessibility today means leading the way in user-centered, legally sound design tomorrow.

Product Designers (UI/UX)
Product Owners & Managers (morning only)

You’ll gain practical tools to embed accessibility into your design process, from strategy and ideation to developer handoff. The day is split into two powerful sessions: Theory and practical.
