Upcoming Webinars:

Thursday May 22nd, 4pm UK-time - Accessibility Nightmares: From Digital Disaster to Inclusive Triumph

In today's digital landscape, accessibility isn't a luxury—it's a critical business imperative and an investment. An investment in broader market reach, reduced legal risk, and genuinely inclusive digital experiences.

Our "Accessibility Nightmares" webinar pulls back the curtain on the types of real-world digital disasters that have cost companies millions, damaged reputations, and left users frustrated and excluded.

In this session Rob Wemyss and Jonathan Hassell share their accessibility nightmare experiences including;

• Lawsuit landmines - When your website becomes a legal target due to lack of accessibility
• SaaS solutions gone wrong - SaaS tools that fail the most basic accessibility requirements.
• PR Disasters: When exclusion goes public – Cautionary tales to avoid brand disaster

We’ll share our transformation playbook - an approach mirrors the classic kitchen makeover:

1. Brutal honesty assessment
2. Rapid remediation strategies
3. Cultural transformation

We'll showcase before-and-after transformations that prove accessibility isn't just about compliance—it's about creating better, more intuitive digital experiences for everyone.

Are you ready to turn your digital accessibility nightmare into a success story?

Thursday 19th June, 4pm UK-time - Accessibility in Marketing: the Opportunities and 3 Key Challenges

Whatever the size of your organisation, marketing is key. How you communicate with existing and potential customers could be the difference between winning or losing them, and accessibility is key to that. In this webinar, we'll discuss 3 topics we are helping our clients rethink in 2025.

1. Increasing Reach. With more than 20% of people with impairments or disabilities, how do you make sure you're not excluding them from your marketing efforts? Can you connect with everyone? And ultimately is it worth it?
   2. The EAA. With the EAA coming into force on the 28th June, what does it actually mean for marketeers? The EAA isn't a one-off rubber stamp but something that requires accessibility to be delivered continually in content on sites and apps. So how do you put in place the processes to assure this?
   3. Authenticity. Brands and organisations talk a lot about authenticity in their values and positioning, but when it comes to communications involving disability do they actually deliver or just pay lip service? How do you go beyond nodding at disability and telling stories involving it authentically? How do you assure that content works for everyone?

If you've got a marketing & accessibility challenge that you're grappling with, we'd love to hear it - please let us know and we'll do our best to include it in the session.

How our webinars help you

Whatever your role in delivering digital accessibility, these webinars are designed to help you develop your accessibility knowledge and maturity in your organisation.

Accessibility is a critical part of the digital product development process, and we all need to make sure that, in the rush to get products delivered, we don't short-change those with accessibility issues.

In talking to our network and clients at Hassell Inclusion, it’s clear they’re facing many challenges with this, at a time when digital is more important than ever before.

Our Digital Accessibility Experts Live webinars allow digital leaders and their teams to ask us their accessibility questions and get answers from our Hassell Inclusion accessibility experts.

Each month our webinar takes an important accessibility topic and shares practical advice and tips, from the perspectives of developers, designers, content authors, testers and the digital and product managers who lead them.

Come and be part of our accessibility community, and get expert advice from our experienced team who can help you get the benefits out of inclusive design.
