Overview
On the season premiere of HearSay, we were joined by Matthew Freeman, Director of EU Sales at AudioEye, and Susanna Laurin, Managing Director and Chair of Funka Foundation and a key player in the European Accessibility Act.
Together, Matt and Susanna dive deep into the European Accessibility Act (EAA) and unpack: Who really needs to comply (spoiler: it’s not just EU-based companies), What digital products and services fall under the EAA (hint: it’s not just websites), Why the EAA is more than just a regulation but an opportunity to build a better, more accessible web for everyone.
Matt and Susanna also provide practical steps and best practices to help your organization meet EAA requirements and embrace digital accessibility.
