In an era dominated by digital advancements, the importance of accessibility testing has emerged as a pivotal factor in creating inclusive and user-friendly digital experiences. This Keynote delves into the critical role of accessibility testing and its intersection with the European Union's ambitious 2025 law, underscoring the profound impact on the development and deployment of digital services.

Accessibility testing stands as a linchpin in the pursuit of a digitally inclusive society. With the EU 2025 law poised to elevate accessibility standards across the European Union, businesses and developers must recognise the intrinsic value of prioritising accessibility testing. By doing so, they not only align with regulatory requirements but also contribute to a more equitable and accessible digital landscape, where every individual can participate fully in the digital age.

Join me for my first ever Keynote and take back great knowledge that will make a great impact and positive change for the world. 

What will I be covering:

1- Accessibility and why this makes an important aspect to your applications

2- The EU 2025 Legislation for Accessible applications

3-Be more inclusive when it comes to design and socially aware?

4- You want to know more about this topic, but not sure if this fits your project agenda you are still in for a great session
