SUMMARY:BIC Brunch: European Accessibility Act - Websites/Platforms & Packaging
DESCRIPTION:BIC Brunch: European Accessibility Act – Websites/Platforms & Packaging\nExpert speakers reveal considerations & requirements for websites/platforms in light of the EAA with considerations for accessible packaging \nGet tickets \nIntroduction\nJoin us in this\, the 7th session of our series of webinars dedicated to Accessibility\, which we have put together with the 2025 European Accessibility Act (EAA) firmly in mind. \nThis event follows on from 6 incredibly well received sessions that have already examined i) Back to Basics – the Legalities\, ii) Accessibility Metadata\, iii) Accessible Content (EPUB and PDF)\, iv) Alt Text\, v) Fixed Layout and vi) STEM/Scholarly Publishing \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 an advanced copy of any of the recordings from the above 6 sessions via info@bic.org.uk at any time. \nFebruary’s session sees our expert speakers guide us through the accessibility requirements for websites/platforms and accessible packaging. We’ll do this by covering a variety of topics concerned with the accessible experience of exploring and shopping online: from browsing\, to receiving digital books to chosen devices and being able to access them confidently in a preferred reading method; or receiving a hard copy (braille\, large print\, audio) through the post. We’ll also hear about the Accessible Product Packaging project. \nHost\n\nKarina Urquhart\, Executive Director\, BIC\n\nSpeakers\n\nSydney Allen\, Product Manager\, GlassBoxx\nWendy Reid\, Accessibility & Publishing Standards Lead\, Rakuten Kobo Inc\nRobin Spinks\, Head of Inclusive Design\, RNIB\n\nWho should attend?\nThe EU Accessibility Act will have a far-reaching impact on the book industry supply chain\, including the consideration and development/maintenance of websites/platforms. Today\, most organisations have websites/online platforms and so this session will be of interest to a broad range of different book industry organisation types and professionals\, especially website/platform developers\, website/platform designers\, content creators and those working at publishing houses\, vendors\, 3rd party suppliers etc. It will also be of interest to those organisations that supply content/products directly to customers (B2C). \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.

In June 2020\, to uphold the BIC Green Promise\, we launched our Green BIC Brunch series which aims specifically to explore key areas of the book supply chain that can and do impact on our planet’s environmental health. Each Green BIC Brunch is dedicated to one key area while the series as a whole is intended to join the book industry supply chain together in one place – exploring and inspiring change in response to environmental challenges. \nOur past Green BIC Brunch sessions can be watched online via the BIC YouTube channel.
