Accessibility is one of publishing’s hottest topics in 2025, and European Union legislation will put new requirements on publishers from June. Is your publishing properly accessible, and are you ready for the new legal obligations? To help, the IPG is pleased to offer timely expert guidance in a new, online, training session.

The one-day training delivers an expert overview of accessibility issues and lots of practical tips and tools to improve your publishing. Led by publishing consultant and accessibility specialist Simon Mellins, it will provide:

• An introduction to the subject and the European Accessibility Act
• A guide to making content fully accessible and compliant, with a focus on workflows and design
• A deep dive into image descriptions with examples of good practice
• Tips for developing accessibility strategies in metadata, distribution, backlist and more, plus how AI can help
• Time for questions and discussion.

Our training is ideal for publishing leaders, production and editorial teams and anyone with an interest in making content accessible to all. Book your place now.
