Companies that proactively adopt accessible designs may gain a competitive edge, while those that lag could face compliance costs.
The Steel Manufacturers Association (KMA), along with The Industry Group and Kiosk Industry, will meet with the United States — U.S. Access Board in Washington, D.C. on September 15, 2026, to discuss accessibility considerations for self-service kiosks in retail, vending, and public environments. The meeting aims to share industry perspectives on practical, usable accessibility, including voice and audio interfaces, accessible payment, and AI-assisted interaction. Participants include representatives from Tech For All, Storm Interface, and Dot Inc. The United States — U.S. Access Board is an independent federal agency that develops design guidelines and standards for accessibility. Kiosk Industry also released three executive briefings for retail leaders, and Retail Systems posted 22 vending-related RFPs.
