How to Craft a Strategic Accessibility Plan That Gets Funded

What’s your game-plan for digital accessibility for 2026?

If your ambition’s bigger than your budget, you’re not alone. Many teams struggle to turn good intentions into funded actions, and with new regulations and rising expectations, it’s more important than ever to work to maximise your budget, and spend it in the right places.

This webinar will equip you to speak the language of leadership to shape a strategy that unlocks investment for accessibility initiatives that deliver real impact – our Chief Product Office, Peter Bricknell covered:
– How to align accessibility with your organisation’s strategic priorities – positioning your plan as essential, not optional
– Making the business case for accessibility – showing how inclusive design drives competitive advantage and customer trust
– Identifying high-visibility wins – actions that will deliver measurable results and make accessibility tangible
– Building a standards-driven roadmap – leveraging ISO 30071-1, the European Accessibility Act, and frameworks from Canada and France to craft a world-class strategy

If your goal is to move from good intentions to real impact in 2026, this is a great place to start – it will help you develop a plan that aligns with your organisations values, unlocks funding, and achieves results.
