Digital accessibility is now a legal requirement for federal and local government, K12 and higher education institutions, and many businesses. Digital product owners and their customers are increasingly confronted with the need to document digital accessibility status.

An Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) is the documentation that results from completing a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) and is a critical part of integrating accessibility into product development and purchase.

.Join this BADA session to demystify the process. As a vendor, you will gain confidence to clearly and credibly communicate product accessibility status to your potential buyers. If you are the buyer, you'll learn what to look for in a completed ACR and how to interpret the report.
