The European Accessibility Act (EAA) has been implement to make digital products and services more accessible for everybody. Since June 2025 all EU members have implemented local laws such as the German "Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz" to ensure that companies are complying with the requirements. However, many have been slow and as of summer 2026 many websites still have many critical accessibility issues. In the roundtable discussion we will look back at the first year of the EAA and discuss ways to help promote accessibility.
