Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2026: What It Takes to Make Accessibility Stick

Accessibility isn’t just awareness — it’s what happens next. In this Global Accessibility Awareness Day panel discussion, we explore what it really takes to make accessibility stick in practice — not just in principle. Featuring Jessica Cameron, Sally Rogan and Keith Allan, and hosted by Chris Rourke, the conversation looks at the real-world challenges organisations face when trying to embed accessibility into delivery, governance and day-to-day decision-making. Topics include: what drives accessibility in organisations today, where accountability sits and where it breaks down, how good intentions can fall away in practice, the challenge of accessibility drift, the role of leadership, governance and internal champions, continuous monitoring versus point-in-time audits, and what role AI may play in accessibility in the near future. If you work in UX, digital accessibility, product, design, delivery or leadership, we hope this discussion gives you practical ideas you can apply in your own organisation.
