Topic:  Turning Website Compliance into an Association Win
Speaker:  Johnathan Brabson, Clym

Description:

Let’s be honest: "Website Compliance" is usually the last thing on an association executive’s to-do list—right up until a legal notice hits the inbox. With AI now being used by plaintiffs to scan for accessibility gaps and draft complaints in seconds, the risk for our members (and our own organizations) has never been higher.

In this session, Clym will help you navigate the growing data privacy laws across the US & the rise of digital accessibility lawsuits. We’ll break down why California’s 67% spike in ADA lawsuits is a warning for Arizona, and WHY Clym for Good is focused on Associations.

We’ll cover:

● The "Wait, I’m at risk?" Reality Check: Why simple things like chatbots, embedded videos, basic cookies, and overall site design are the new targets for demand letters and lawsuits.

● A look at why small businesses and nonprofits are being targeted more than ever because they lack the legal resources to fight back.

● The "Right Thing to Do" (That also makes money): How making your site accessible for people with visual, hearing, or cognitive disabilities opens you up to a $490B market.

● Association Perks: How to provide members with a professional-grade compliance solution at a fraction of the cost, making you the hero of their business operations.

Compliance doesn't have to be a headache or a budget-buster. Join us to learn how to keep your association’s digital presence inclusive, legal, and stress-free.
