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

Accessibility is not 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 my understanding of design: accessibility isn’t an optional improvement, it’s what enables participation.

In this practical, design‑focused session, I’ll connect the requirements of the European Accessibility Act with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and demonstrate how these principles translate directly into Power BI best practice. We’ll explore actionable techniques such as meaningful structure, keyboard navigation, tab order, colour contrast, and designing information that does not rely on colour alone.

Attendees will leave with clear, practical methods for creating Power BI reports that are inclusive by design, reports that go beyond compliance to become genuinely usable for everyone.
