Shifting Further Left: Integrating Accessibility into the Earliest Stages of Development Presented by TPGi
Thursday, January 16, 2025 11:00 AM EST
Tags: Accessibility, Virtual, Free
When it comes to accessibility and inclusive design, “shifting left” means incorporating accessibility considerations early in the development process rather than addressing them later. This approach ensures that accessibility is integrated from the very beginning of a project, rather than being treated as an afterthought. While the responsibility for accessibility often begins with developers and QA testers and extends to designers and UI/UX specialists, we can take it a step further by engaging Product Owners, Product Managers, and Business Analysts. By doing so, we can embed accessibility considerations into the planning and conceptual stages of the software development lifecycle. Join us for this session, where we will explore practical strategies for integrating accessibility into the very inception of your product.
Countdown to Compliance: The European Accessibility Act and Self-Service Kiosks 101 Presented by TPGi
Wednesday, January 29, 2025 9:00 AM EST
Tags: Accessibility, Virtual, Free
Most businesses that trade in the European Union must comply with the European Accessibility Act (EAA), with the first deadline June 28, 2025. If you provide digital services or products, including self-service kiosks, in the European Union, your time is running out to ensure inclusive experiences. Self-service kiosks are widely used, whether to order and pay at a restaurant, check into a doctor’s appointment, buy tickets for public transport, or manage your finances at a bank. That’s why it’s crucial to embrace accessibility, provide equal opportunity for disabled people, and meet EAA requirements, before it’s too late. Join TPGi and Storm Interfaces’ accessibility and kiosk experts as they navigate the EAA’s kiosk requirements and help you develop and implement inclusive self-service technology.
