A Free Webinar from SSB BART Group

Date: Thursday, February 23rd
Time: 2:00pm EST (Time Zone Converter)

In October of 2016, the European Union passed Directive 2016/2102/EU, which required websites and mobile apps of public sector bodies to be accessible. The Directive entered into force on December 22, 2016. This represents a move towards harmonization of digital accessibility standards in Europe, and if you are in Europe or do business in Europe, you need to know how the Directive affects you. Join us on Thursday, February 23rd at 2:00pm EST for a free webinar discussing the most salient points of the EU Directive, featuring SSB BART Group’s CEO Tim Springer. We’ll discuss:

  • The economic and social drivers that led to the creation of the Directive
  • What is covered by the Directive, as well as notable exclusions
  • How the Directive may affect the private sector
  • The responsibilities of public sector bodies and their Member States
