Wednesday 29 October 2025, 09:30–13:30 at Aller Media, Copenhagen – and online
On 29 October 2025, I hosted an AccessibleEU event in Copenhagen about artificial intelligence and digital accessibility.
The event was organised in collaboration with Danish Disability Organisations and Disability Tech Denmark and sponsored by Siteimprove& IAAP Nordic.
I organised the event in my role as National Expert for Denmark under the European Commission’s AccessibleEU initiative, which works to promote accessibility across the EU.
The purpose of the day was to explore how AI affects accessibility – both as a technological opportunity and as a challenge – and to share knowledge about how innovation can contribute to more inclusive digital solutions.
