“The power of the web is in its universality. Access by everyone regardless of disability is an essential aspect.” – Tim Berners-Lee, Inventor of the World Wide Web

In 2019, plaintiffs filed a record 11,053 accessibility lawsuits based on alleged violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act - an 8.8% jump from 2018.

In 2021, with more of our lives spent online, digital accessibility and accessibility compliance can’t be ignored. By ensuring all digital experiences are accessible, companies can improve their customer experience while also avoiding costly penalties.

We are joined by guests from Wells Fargo Bank and Logic20/20 to discuss the current state of accessibility, trends transforming the market, and the growing risks of non-compliance. We cover:

• Top accessibility trends and strategies for 2021
• Challenges organizations face in addressing digital accessibility, and how to overcome them
• Effective ways to centralize your organization’s approach
• How to demonstrate ROI for digital accessibility
