The European Accessibility Act (EAA) deadline is coming fast. The EAA is all about making sure accessible products and services are easier to buy and use across the EU. While this is fantastic news for accessibility, it means there are new rules and deadlines you'll need to hit.
Mark your calendars—June 2025 is the date to have your frontlist titles compliant. Don’t breathe easy just yet, though; backlist titles have a grace period until June 2030. But that doesn’t mean you should procrastinate! Understanding the requirements now is crucial for a smooth transition.
The EAA is not just about books. But of course, it is top of mind for any publishers who sell books in the EU or UK. The UK is aligning itself with this directive so it's critical if you are selling into that market as well.
Avoid any last-minute panic. Join this DCL Lunch & Learn session on October 9 with industry experts Mark Gross and Bill Kasdorf. They'll break down the country-specific nuances, explain the 2030 extension, and share actionable steps you can take today without major disruption to your workflows.
