Industry exclusive:

From reactive litigation to proactive digital accessibility compliance

Date: Thursday, September 17th
Time: 15:00—16:00 (GMT)

Since June 2025, enterprises doing business in the EU are required to make digital services accessible, and that obligation is now being tested in court. Two disability associations sued four grocery retailers over websites that lock blind users out of an everyday act: buying food online. This recent litigation in France will set precedent and will be, when finalized, as name-dropped as the landmark US cases of Domino’s and Target.

Join us for an exclusive discussion with Interêt à agir, the legal team behind the landmark French grocer lawsuits to demystify compliance.

While this webinar has information for all digital accessibility roles, we encourage accessibility teams to extend an invitation to their legal counsel, risk, & compliance team members.

In this webinar, you'll learn:
  • What the French court case entails.
  • How the European market in reacting.
  • The importance of shifting from reactive mitigation to a sustainable, future-proof accessibility roadmap.

Good news: By registering for this webinar, you’ll get the recording. Watch it whenever you’d like!
