Digital Accessibility for Everyone: From Compliance to Inclusion

	September 30, 2026
	from 11:00 to 12:00

More than one billion people worldwide face barriers when accessing digital experiences. Digital accessibility is not just a technical requirement, it is a fundamental right.

Created in 2021, the Contentsquare Foundation is dedicated to building a more inclusive web through three key pillars: Education, Research & Innovation, and Advocacy. Our Accessibility Innovation Prize winner, CollectivAlly, is redefining how organizations approach digital inclusion. Moving beyond traditional checklists, it uses AI-powered personas based on the lived experiences of disabled and neurodivergent people to help teams better understand, test, and design more inclusive digital products.

Join this webinar to discover how organizations can move beyond compliance and embed accessibility into the way they create better digital experiences for everyone.
