From ADA Deadline to Discipline: Sustainable Accessibility in Action
Tune in Wednesday, March 18 at 2:00 PM ET
Make accessibility a lasting organizational priority
Whether you're approaching the April 2026 ADA Title II deadline, the second deadline in 2027, or planning beyond it, this webinar will equip you with practical insights for managing accessibility as an ongoing commitment rather than a one-time compliance project.
Don’t miss the opportunity to learn from an advisor who co-led digital accessibility at the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, conducting investigations, handling complaints, and monitoring agreements, alongside a seasoned industry leader who has helped thousands of organizations build accessible, high-quality web experiences in practice.
Join us and gain expert insights into:
- Enforcement realities - Understand how complaints typically unfold in practice. We'll talk through the process of issue resolution, whether you're navigating a federal investigation or litigation from the DOJ and private individuals.
- Sustainable accessibility practices – Moving beyond compliance checklists to meaningful metrics, essential manual testing, and risk management policies for constantly evolving digital environments.
- Critical next steps – What organizations should prioritize now if they won't reach 100% compliance by the deadline.
Join us to discuss smoothing out the bumps along the way to full compliance. Start with this game-changing deadline and learn how to create accessibility programs built to last for everyone.
