Friday, May 8, 13.30-14.00 CEST

Accessible does not equal Equitable: Real Human Experience vs Compliance

Thursday, 20 May | 10 AM AEST

In this webinar to celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), we explore the uncomfortable truth that a product can be fully compliant and still fail the people it’s meant to support. Drawing on real user experiences, we’ll expose the hidden friction that standards don’t capture, from cognitive overload to interaction fatigue and loss of confidence.


All the questions you wanted to ask during GAAD - but didn’t get the chance

Thursday 28th May 4pm UK-time

Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) on Thursday 21st May is always energising. But once the week is over, the momentum can fade. The questions people meant to ask never get asked. The practical “what do we actually do now?” conversations don’t happen.

So the week after GAAD Hassell Inclusion is hosting an open Q&A session with many seasoned accessibility experts, so you can ask the questions you need to make accessibility for 2026 not just for GAAD.
