This list does not deal with structural, logistical or content-related programmatic barriers (e.g. wheelchair ramps or sensory retreats). It refers exclusively to those requirements that can be implemented using software.
The aim is to help you meet the legal requirements digitally - and to understand accessibility not as an add-on, but as a natural part of your event communication.
