The ADA Title II Compliance Deadline Is Here. Is Your Content Ready?
Public entities are now expected to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA across web content and mobile apps. Join government communicators from federal, state, county, and municipal agencies for three days on making that real across the web pages, PDFs, videos, social posts, and emergency alerts residents depend on every day.
About This Government Accessibility & Communications Event
Accessibility has moved from a web team project to a communications requirement. The agencies that are furthest along built it into everyday content production rather than treating it as a one-time remediation project.
This training brings together the communicators doing that work now. Through case studies, hands-on workshops, and candid discussion of what compliance actually costs, you will build a Title II roadmap that fits your agency’s staffing and budget.
You will learn how to:
- Build a realistic Title II compliance roadmap scaled to your agency’s size, staffing, and budget.
- Audit your website, documents, and social content and prioritize what to fix first.
- Remediate PDFs, forms, and legacy documents without stalling day-to-day communications.
- Make video, live streams, and public meetings accessible with captions, transcripts, and audio description.
- Write plain-language content that works for screen readers, translation, and every reading level.
- Build accessibility into emergency and crisis communications so no resident is left out.
- Use AI tools responsibly to speed up remediation, captioning, and alt text.
- Train program staff, contractors, and vendors so accessibility does not fall on communications alone.

Need Leadership Approval?
Attending a training, workshop, or seminar is the perfect way to gain new knowledge, meet like-minded professionals, expand your skillset, and expose yourself to new perspectives in your field. However, while you may see the benefits of attending an event, getting the “thumbs up” from management may take a bit of convincing.
