BIC Brunch - EAA: Websites Platforms & Packaging (Feb 2025)

Join us in this, the seventh session of our series of webinars dedicated to Accessibility, which we have put together with the 2025 European Accessibility Act (EAA) firmly in mind.

This session was recorded live in February 2025 and follows on from our six incredibly well received sessions that have already examined i) Back to Basics - the Legalities, ii) Accessibility Metadata, iii) Accessible Content (EPUB and PDF), iv) Alt Text v) Fixed Layout and vi) STEM and Scholarly Publishing.

In this recording our expert speakers guide the viewer through the accessibility requirements for websites/platforms and accessible packaging. This is done by covering a variety of topics concerned with the accessible experience of exploring and shopping online: from browsing, to receiving digital books to chosen devices and being able to access them confidently in a preferred reading method; or receiving a hard copy (braille, large print, audio) through the post. viewers will also hear about the Accessible Product Packaging project.
