Document Accessibility in 2026

Building on our 2025 webinar, Creating Accessible Documents, this session moves the conversation forward.

In 2026, evolving legislation, growing scrutiny, and rising expectations mean organisations must think more strategically about their documents and alternative formats. It’s no longer just about fixing PDFs. It’s about governance, legal risk, user experience – and increasingly, the intelligent use of AI.

In this webinar, we explore:

• How AI can support document testing and help users interact more effectively with content
• What new and evolving standards and legislation mean for your documents
• Why documents matter in the user journey, and how to ensure they support, rather than block, accessibility
• How to choose the right format, when PDFs are appropriate, and when another format is the better option

You’ll also see recent legal challenges involving inaccessible documents, a practical case study on reducing reliance on PDFs and a clear, guide to improving document accessibility across your organisation.
