The world we live in is evolving faster than ever. We’re witnessing a significant shift in power from businesses to customers, alongside a massive increase in demand. Brands must become far more customer-centred or risk falling behind.

Join our monthly roundtable, hosted by Ryan Wiseman, Experience and Service Design Lead at AND Digital. This is a safe space for anyone in a CX-related role, or with a general interest, to share knowledge, learn, and have an open chat about the good, the bad, and the ugly of Customer Experience.

Our Peer Network lead will guide the discussion, sharing perspectives, but crucially looking into what you are doing.

For this session focussed on Accessible Customer Experiences, we will be joined by Emily Lawes, Lead UX Designer at AND Digital.

Inclusive design has long been a shortfall, something that gets deprioritised. But at what cost to the Customer Experience? With the June EAA regulations coming round fast, how are we responding and what impact is this having?

Emily’s a huge advocate for ensuring that we as professionals understand the undertaking we make when it comes to designing experiences for all, but also that we understand the emerging and existing regulatory and legal frameworks we need to abide by. These are very much a tool, not a barrier, to doing great work and the EAA legislation is a real opportunity to ensure we understand what’s needed so that everyone can benefit.

Limited to 12 attendees to allow for discussion. The Chatham House Rule applies and places are strictly limited to one per organisation.

We hope you can make it!
