What to expect
Accessible documents are no longer a niche topic. They are becoming a legal requirement, a quality standard and an essential part of modern digital communication.
The axes4 Accessibility Summit brings together international voices to explore the current state of digital accessibility and where it is heading. Across two afternoons, you will hear from practitioners and experts on the topics shaping PDF accessibility right now: machine-readable content, AI-driven document processes, scalable implementation and the evolving regulatory landscape.
Whether you work in compliance, communications, design or technology, this is the place to connect, learn and contribute to a more inclusive digital world.
From the team behind the axes4 Day
The axes4 Accessibility Summit builds on the experience of the axes4 Day, one of the leading events around accessible PDF documents and digital accessibility in the German speaking region.
Each year, the axes4 Day brings together experts, organizations and accessibility professionals from public sector, enterprise and technology environments.
With the Accessibility Summit, we are expanding this conversation internationally.
Klaus HöcknerCEO, Austrian Association Supporting the Blind and Visually Impaired"The axes4 Day brings together DACH and European perspectives, policy and practice, standards and tools at one table. Exactly this density and honesty are the infrastructure Europe needs for effective implementation of the EAA"
Prof. Dr. Erdmuthe Meyer zu BextenState Commissioner for Accessible IT and Digital Participation of the State of Hesse“The strong response and high participation once again show how important the topic has become.”

Why join?
Accessibility is no longer optional. Regulations like the European Accessibility Act or the US ADA Title II rule are setting new standards, and organizations everywhere are feeling the pressure to act.
But compliance alone is not the goal. The axes4 Accessibility Summit is for everyone who sees accessibility as more than a checkbox. It is about making digital communication work for everyone, without exception. For the colleagues who rely on assistive technology or for the customers who have been left out for too long.
Two afternoons to step back from the day-to-day. To learn from others who are navigating the same challenges. To connect with a global community that is not just talking about accessibility, but actively building it.
Come with your questions. Leave with ideas, contacts and a clearer path forward.
