Did you miss our seminar "The Accessibility Era. Are you ready for it?" at the Frankfurter Buchmesse? It’s now available the video of the full session 👇 The seminar, organized in the framework of #APACE project, explored the current state of European publishing less than a year before the #EuropeanAccessibilityAct comes into force on June 28, 2025. The publishing industry and organizations supporting people with print disabilities are getting ready for this appointment stepping up efforts to produce and distribute accessible digital publications. But how? Answering this question were the professionals involved at the discussion: thanks to Elisa Molinari (Fondazione LIA), Alessandra Porcelli (Mondadori Group), Simon Holt (Elsevier) and Porter Anderson (Publishing Perspectives).

Last week at the Frankfurter Buchmesse, the Federation of European Publishers/Fédération des éditeurs européens (FEP) organized an important seminar on the progress made in integrating accessibility into Adobe InDesign workflows. The “Accessible EPUB from InDesign Expert Group” has been engaging with the InDesign engineers since February 2022 on a series of issues relating to the EPUB export from layout files in InDesign. Gregorio Pellegrino (Fondazione LIA) is the technical lead, Richard Orme (DAISY Consortium) facilitates the group, with contributions from Jonas Lillqvist (CELIA) and Laura Brady (eBound/Accessible Books Consortium). Thanks to the speakers (Anne Bergman (FEP), Richard Orme (DAISY), Stefanie Valdés-Scott (ADOBE) and Gregorio Pellegrino (LIA)) for sharing valuable insights on the achieved results from this collaboration and for outlining a future roadmap.   It’s now available the video of the full session: "Progress made towards mainstreaming accessibility with Adobe InDesign" 👇

La terza giornata della Frankfurter Buchmesse è iniziata con un incontro sulla cultura dell'#accessibilità in campo editoriale, organizzato da Associazione Italiana Editori e Fondazione LIA - Libri Italiani Accessibili. Proprio grazie al supporto della Fondazione LIA, da alcuni anni abbiamo iniziato a riadattare i nostri prodotti per renderli più fruibili per chi ha disabilità visive o difficoltà di lettura, ma anche per chiunque li consulti da smartphone. Ecco la nostra Direttrice Generale Irene Enriques mentre mostra le tappe di questo viaggio iniziato con la riprogettazione degli #ebook, delle app e degli strumenti didattici digitali, fino all'ottimizzazione del catalogo online e dell'e-commerce. 🎯Il nostro obiettivo per giugno 2025? Migliorare ulteriormente i prodotti digitali esistenti e far sì che tutte le nuove pubblicazioni siano già completamente accessibili.

We are excited to be at the Frankfurter Buchmesse this week! It’s always an inspiring experience attending insightful seminars and connecting with professionals from around the world. Here are some photos from the seminar we've participated in so far! If you're attending the fair, we'd love to meet you: come find us at Hall 4, Booth 18.
