Radical Inclusion: Aligning Your Digital Presence with Your Inclusion Commitments, Legal Requirements, and B Corp V2 JEDI Standards

Thursday September 17, 2026 9:25am - 10:25am EDT

Room 307

Your brand is a B Corp because you believe in a world that works for everyone. But is your digital "front door" locked for 1 in 4 people who want to be your customer?

In the B Corp world, we don’t just check boxes; we break barriers. Unfortunately, many small business owners are unaware of the website accessibility barriers that mean 25% of your potential customers cannot buy from you.

Equally troubling: as a small or medium sized business, you are much more likely to get sued than larger or enterprise companies. The lawyers looking to make easy money know that, unlike a giant company which might fight the lawsuit in court, small and medium sized businesses are going to settle. We don’t want this to be the case for a single B Corp - especially you.

This interactive session moves beyond the (very real) fear lawsuits and dives into the heart of the new B Corp V2 JEDI standards. We’ll explore how website accessibility isn't just a legal requirement—it’s a fundamental human right and a powerful engine for SEO and revenue.

Denise Páne will show you how to turn digital compliance into a competitive advantage that honors the dignity of every user.
