When people think of the European Accessibility Act, they picture websites, banking apps, or ticket machines, rarely Power BI reports. But if your organisation uses Power BI to communicate performance, decisions, risk or strategy, those reports are digital services. If people can’t access them, they’re excluded from the conversation.

Accessibility isn’t theoretical for me. After a work injury left me with nerve damage in both hands, a simple hardware adjustment transformed how I could work. That experience reshaped how I see design: accessibility isn’t an optional improvement, it’s what enables participation.

This practical session connects the European Accessibility Act with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and shows how these principles translate directly into Power BI development best practice, covering meaningful structure, keyboard navigation, tab order, colour contrast, and designing information that doesn’t rely on colour alone.

Leave with clear, practical methods for building Power BI reports that are inclusive by design, going beyond compliance to become genuinely usable for everyone.
