Background:
The European Accessibility Act (EAA), a law that defines accessibility requirements, takes effect on June 28, 2025. According to the EU, EAA will make life easier for the roughly 87 million people living with disabilities–almost one in five Europeans. Seen by many as a landmark law, the time to meet compliance is running out.
Watch Rachel Yomtoob, Product Owner - axe DevTools Mobile, at Deque, and Sauce Labs Principal Technical Advisor, Marcus Merrell, as well as Senior Director, Developer Marketing, Jason Baum as they discuss the implications of EAA and how businesses around the globe (who serve customers in the EU) are creating digital products and services that are accessible.
