About

The European Accessibility Act is no longer on the horizon — it’s here, and it’s transforming the publishing landscape across Europe. In this dynamic 30-minute fireside chat, representatives from the publishing industry will discuss how the industry is adapting now that the EAA is in force. The conversation will dive into the critical areas that still need to be addressed, how national implementations are unfolding, the differences emerging across countries. Join us for a fast-paced exchange on what’s next for accessible publishing in Europe.

This event is organized in collaboration with the Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels and the Frankfurter Buchmesse. 

Moderator: Porter Anderson, Editor in Chief Publishing Perspectives
