From Compliance to Culture: Sustaining Accessibility at Enterprise Scale

The European Accessibility Act turned digital accessibility from a best practice into a legal obligation for many organizations. But once the deadline has passed, the real work begins: how do you move from one-off compliance to a sustainable practice woven into your processes, your teams, and your company culture?

This roundtable brings together accessibility leaders from large organizations — including PwC and [client TBC] — for a candid exchange on what actually works and what still resists in the field: governance, upskilling teams, embedding accessibility into procurement and digital delivery pipelines, and measuring progress over time. The goal: leave with concrete levers you can apply whatever your organization's level of maturity.

The EAA as an AI Innovation Catalyst

The European Accessibility Act set a compliance baseline. The most forward-thinking organisations are using it as a starting block, not a finish line. This session explores how the EAA, paired with the acceleration of AI, creates a real opening to differentiate, innovate, and grow. The central question is not "are we compliant?" but "what does compliance make possible?" Organisations that treat accessibility as a design principle are already pulling ahead, expanding market reach, raising product quality, and turning EAA requirements into an AI innovation engine that moves them from followers to frontier firms.
