Regulations like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), WCAG 2.1/2.2, and the European Accessibility Act now have clear laws for how organizations need to communicate digitally. Yet for most compliance programs email is usually forgotten, remaining one of the least-audited channels.

Join us for a live, expert-led session that maps global accessibility laws to email, explains where organizations are most commonly exposed, and covers what IT, Marketing, Compliance, and Legal teams can do about it.

In this webinar we'll cover:

  • Global accessibility law and what it means for email: ADA Title III and Section 508 (US), WCAG 2.1/2.2, the EAA, and UK/Canadian/Australian standards, explained plainly, with obligations, enforcement, and pitfalls.

  • Why email is a blind spot: Marketing emails are accessible, but employees' daily emails rarely are, and we'll look at who actually owns that problem.

  • Building a compliant email signature infrastructure: A walkthrough of the controls that close the gap—alt text, labels, contrast, screen reader compliance—plus the business case.

  • Where to start: A practical close on the audit, policy, and tooling sequence, and who owns what.
