SUMMARY:BIC Brunch - European Accessibility Act –  Fixed Layout
DESCRIPTION:Expert speakers guide us through the often-complex topic of fixed layout titles.\n\n\nBIC Brunches 2024\n#bicbrunch \nEuropean Accessibility Act: Fixed Layout\nOverview\nBIC Brunches are a series of live webinars which have been created for BIC members and non-members to explore book industry supply chain topics (including issues\, successes\, and challenges). Each BIC Brunch session is dedicated to one key area of the supply chain\, offering attendees a unique opportunity to gather knowledge about that topic from experts in the field. \n \nIntroduction\nJoin us in this\, the fifth session of our brand-new series of webinars dedicated to Accessibility\, which we have put together with the 2025 European Accessibility Act (EAA) firmly in mind. \n \nThis event follows on from four incredibly well received sessions that have already examined i) Back to Basics – the Legalities\, ii) Accessibility Metadata\, iii) Accessible Content (EPUB and PDF)\, and iv) Alt Text. \n \nRecordings of each of the above sessions (with the exception of the Legalities session) will gradually be made freely available via our YouTube Accessibility Playlist. Prior to them being published on YouTube\, BIC members may request a copy of any of the recordings from the above 4 sessions via info@bic.org.uk at any time. \n \nSo having already looked at the legalities\, metadata\, content\, and Alt Text\, December’s session sees our expert speakers guide us through the often-complex topic of fixed layout titles. We will be discussing when to go fixed layout\, when not to\, and how best to tackle front and backlists in light of the requirements of the EAA. We’ll be both addressing the challenges of EPUB fixed layout and also hearing the technical side of how PDFs can be made accessible. \n \nHost\n\nKarina Urquhart\, Executive Director\, BIC\n\nSpeakers\n\nKoko Ekong\, Ebook Technical and Design Manager\, Penguin Random House\nDuff Johnson\, CEO of the PDF Association\nWendy Reid\, Accessibility and Publishing Standards Lead at Rakuten Kobo Inc.\n\nWho should attend?\nThis event will be of interest to those concerned with complying with the EU Accessibility Act\, particularly when it comes to fixed layout titles. \nThe EU Accessibility Act will have a far-reaching impact on the book industry supply chain and so this session will be of interest to anyone working in the book publishing world including publishers\, vendors\, and in particular\, content creators. \n \nRegistration\nTickets are FREE for BIC and BISG members and MA publishing Students at City St George’s\, University of London. Everyone else is required to pay a nominal fee. Please ensure you select the correct ticket type. \nTo register\, scroll to the top of this webpage and click on the ‘Get Tickets’ button.Not sure if your organisation is a BIC member?

Watch it on YouTube\nIf you would like to attend this event but cannot for any reason\, you can watch both our BIC Brunch and Green BIC Brunch sessions via the BIC YouTube channel. One month after the live event\, the footage will be uploaded to the channel. \nBIC Brunch attendees will have access to the recordings more quickly: Within a week of the live event. BIC members will also have access to the recordings as quickly\, upon request. \nIf you are unable to attend this event but have a question for one of our speakers then do get in touch with us via info@bic.org.uk (prior to the event starting) to have your question put to our speakers. \nIf you would like to remain informed about all of BIC’s forthcoming events\, including our BIC Brunch sessions\, join BIC’s mailing list. \nWe look forward to seeing you!
