Thanks to the European Accessibility Act (EAA), many companies are now required to make their products and services accessible to all people, including persons with disabilities. The requirements of the Act are complemented by accessibility standards, which provide businesses with clear guidance on how to implement accessibility in practice.
In this event, we will have the opportunity to discuss with Oracle how it promotes and supports accessibility. Among others, we will hear about Oracle’s accessibility journey and its cooperation with the accessibility community. We will also discuss the way Artificial Intelligence (AI) can contribute to accessibility, potential risks and the benefits related to AI that can be exploited.
International Sign and Captioning will be provided. Please note: if no registrant requires captioning and sign language until 5 days before the event, the services may be cancelled.
