10:00 AM - 11:00 AM (CDT)

Event Details

Gone are the days of accessibility being just a niche technical requirement. It is a growing expectation from readers, educators, and institutions across the digital publishing world, as far more people are impacted by accessibility issues than many publishers realize.

Whether someone has a visual impairment, a learning difference, or simply prefers to zoom in on text or listen to a book while doing something else, it transforms the need for accessible books from being for just a few, to everyone. However, complying with standards is not always easy: EPUB structure, metadata, image descriptions, and discoverability can overwhelm book production without the right tools and guidance.

De Marque has championed accessibility for years, as it helped publishers stay ahead of the curve and get it right. Through its Redefine Reading program and Cantook Access, the company reaffirms that commitment with a powerful, practical solution designed to simplify workflows and meet evolving expectations.

Join us for this free webinar to hear from accessibility experts, see real-world strategies in action, and get a firsthand look at how Cantook Access is changing the accessibility game.
