Ronny Hendriks

Ronny is an Accessibility Expert and owner at Accessible Online, where he's leading accessibility strategy, assessments, and training for organisations across Europe. With over 20 years in the field, he's seen every way accessibility can succeed and fail.

Ronny works across sectors including government, e-commerce, financial services, and telecoms. He's helps organisations navigate the European Accessibility Act, build accessibility maturity programmes, and move beyond audit-driven compliance toward sustainable practices.
He brings both technical depth in WCAG, EN 301 549, and assistive technology testing, along with a wealth of practical experience in organisational transformation. As someone living with hidden disabilities including chronic pain, hearing loss, and ADD, he understands accessibility from multiple angles.

His sessions are practical, honest, and focused on giving attendees something they can put into practice that same day.

Speaking topics: European Accessibility Act readiness, accessibility governance and maturity, accessibility legislation, user research, shifting left in the SDLC, Taking WCAG beyond checklists, building accessibility capability in teams.
