The Webwinkel Vakdagen was again a high-energy event! We connected with many webshop owners, suppliers, and designers, guiding them on how to improve their online stores and ensure accessibility for all.

Julien also met with representatives from the ACM to discuss webshop accessibility and was even interviewed. He highlighted Toegankelijk360’s core mission: making the digital world inclusive for everyone. Click the video below to watch the full interview.

Webwinkel Vakdagen: the #1 e-commerce event in the Benelux

The Webwinkel Vakdagen is the number one e-commerce event in the Benelux. In 2026, the 19th edition took place on 25 & 26 March at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht.

Since 2007, the Webwinkel Vakdagen has been the event for all professionals and experts in online retail, marketing, and sales. With a wide range of exhibitors, speakers, and networking opportunities, the trade fair is a staple in the calendar for thousands of industry peers. More than 200 prominent specialists share their knowledge and experiences as speakers, and more than 250 exhibitors stand ready to share the latest developments and solutions with you.

Accessibility pays off — for your webshop too

Julien walked the show floor, spoke with webshop specialists, and participated in round tables to inform webshop owners about accessibility and its advantages:

  • Inclusive digital world — An accessible webshop makes the internet a more inclusive place for everyone, including the 1 in 6 people worldwide who live with a disability.
  • Higher revenue — An accessible webshop reaches a wider audience, including the millions of people with disabilities who are also customers.
  • Higher customer satisfaction — Accessibility improvements elevate the user experience for everyone: from elderly users to people browsing on mobile in bright sunlight.
  • Limiting reputational damage — An inaccessible webshop can attract negative media attention and damage your brand image.
  • Avoiding ACM fines — Since June 2025, the European Accessibility Act (EAA) is enforceable. The Dutch Authority for Consumers & Markets (ACM) supervises compliance and can impose fines on webshops that fail to meet accessibility requirements.
