Although not covered by the EAA\, the accessibility of printed books cannot be ignored and here at BIC we consider it to be incredibly important that this topic is also featured as a key part of this webinar series. During this event we’ll hear how to create printed books that meet the needs of all readers—including those with dyslexia\, visual impairments\, and Special Educational Needs (SEN). Amongst other things\, our speakers will share their accessibility expertise on subjects such as font type\, font size\, design tips (including colour contrast\, images\, layout etc)\, large print\, braille etc. \nAttendees will gain actionable insights\, hints and tips\, and there will also be a dedicated Q&A session which provides the perfect opportunity to ask our speakers questions. \nHost\n\nKarina Urquhart\, Executive Director\, BIC\n\nSpeakers\n\nAilsa Bathgate\, Publisher\, Barrington Stoke an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers\nLaura Dolan\, Board Member UKAAF and Account Director\, CPI UK\n\n\nDaniel Eggleston\, Creative Services Lead\, The Ulverscroft Group\nEmma Steel\, Head of Every Cherry Imprint\, Every Cherry Publishing\n\nWho should attend?\nThis session will be of interest to a broad range of different book industry organisation types and professionals\, especially those working in production\, editorial\, design and content creating teams\, and those working at publishing houses\, vendors\, 3rd party suppliers etc. \nRegistration\nTickets are FREE for BIC and BISG members and MA Publishing Students at City St George’s\, University of London.
