Thursday 11th December, 4pm UK Time - Accessible by Design: Building Better from the Start

Too often, accessibility is treated as something to be done in code or fixed during testing. But by then, it’s usually too late, too costly, and too inefficient to deliver well. True accessibility begins much earlier - in the tools we use in design, how we choose components, and how inclusive practices are embedded across the entire delivery pipeline.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how organisations can make accessibility part of the delivery process, with a focus on efficiency, scalability, and long-term impact. Our experts will share practical approaches, tools, and frameworks that help teams bake accessibility into every stage, from requirements to design, through coding, testing and launch.

We’ll cover:

• How design systems and component libraries can drive consistency and reduce accessibility issues
• The tools that help automate accessibility assessments in Figma
• Embedding accessibility decision logs in Confluence to align teams and document progress.
• The role of AI in accessibility testing - what it can (and can’t) do, and why manual testing remains essential

Whether you’re a designer, developer, tester, or product owner, this session will show you how embedding accessibility upfront makes delivery more efficient and cost-effective - while building better, more inclusive experiences for everyone.

Thursday 22nd January 4pm UK Time - Trends in Digital Accessibility for 2026

Each year, digital accessibility evolves - new technologies emerge, regulations shift, and organisations adapt to rising expectations from customers, employees, and stakeholders. 2025 was no different, with accessibility continuing to move higher up the business agenda, alongside debates on the role of AI, the impact of new devices, and the importance of embedding accessibility into product delivery processes to make it more affordable.

So what does all this mean for 2026? What changes should you expect in the year ahead, and how can your organisation prepare to respond?

In this essential webinar, our CEO Jonathan Hassell will look back at what we learned in 2025 and share his perspectives on the key accessibility trends shaping 2026, from the perspective of the opportunities and threats for companies delivering websites, apps, SaaS, self-service terminals, kiosks and ATMs.

If you want to stay ahead of the curve and understand how the direction of accessibility in 2026 will impact your organisation, this webinar is for you.

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.
