SUMMARY:Digital Accessibility Essentials: Preparing for the ADA Title II Compliance Deadline
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Description: \nDigital accessibility requirements are changing\, impacting all public entities\, including DMO\, chamber\, and visitor association websites. Join Jen Macias\, a Portland-based Experience Designer and Accessibility Specialist\, for a practical webinar that will break down the new Department of Justice rules\, compliance timelines and what they mean for your digital content. \nParticipants will gain a clear understanding of Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) standards and will leave with a practical roadmap and resources to support ongoing accessibility compliance. \nThere will be 60 minutes of instruction time\, followed by a 15-minute Q&A. \nRegister for the Travel Oregon hosted webinar here. \n  \nWhy this matters to you: \nThis webinar will be focused on understanding the new rule on the accessibility of web content and mobile apps provided by state and local government. This rule establishes specific requirements for state and local governments to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards by April 2026. While the rule directly applies to public entities\, it will significantly impact private organizations that work with government agencies. \nIf your organization provides websites\, mobile apps\, online services\, or digital content for state or local government agencies—whether through contracts\, licensing agreements\, or other arrangements—you may need to ensure your products and services meet these accessibility standards. The rule makes clear that when governments use contractors or vendors to provide web content or mobile apps on their behalf\, those materials must comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. \nMore information on accessibility programs and resources from Travel Oregon can be found here. \nFor questions pertaining to this webinar\, please reach out to Kate Sappell\, Program Manager RCTP (ksappell@traveloregon.com).
