Hi,

If it is not too late, here is some information about this Saturday's AT&T
event. I hope you will be able to promote this.

Details of AT&T ExperienceMore Meet & Greet in Chicago:

When: Saturday October 7, 2017 from 2pm-4pm

Where: 16 North State St. Chicago, IL 60602

What: Join AT&T & Aira as part of the #ExperienceMore Campaign as Michael
Hingson, 9/11 Survivor, New York Times Best Selling Author and Aira Advocate
is visiting the AT&T store to personally share his journey, obstacles faced
in pursuit of his passions and how he is living a life that focuses on his
abilities rather than his disabilities. There will be a Q&A session with
Michael and a chance to get your picture taken.

Aira will be there to give demos of our service and an exclusive promotion
will be offered for this day only!

In addition, AT&T will be doing a giveaway of a $500 AT&T giftcard to an

Hi Mike,

I am working on our convention agenda. I would like to add in a short
statement about AIRA. Can you supply Patti and I with something so we can
put it after the information on the KNFB Reader information. Thanks.

Hi Denise,

What an honor. Thanks. I am coming only with Africa the guide dog. She hides
under tables. I look forward to the convention. 

Best Regards,

Michael Hingson

Hey Patti,

Sorry we won't see you on the 7th. Would you please spread the word about
the event.

Let's talk about ways I may be of help at the convention.

Dear Mike, 

So glad you will be at convention. I assume you have our exhibitor form.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the 10/7 event. I have a wedding to
attend. Let me know if I can assist with any of your convention
arrangements. 

Thank you for all you do.

Hi Denise,

Thanks for the conversation just now. I will be attending as I mentioned to
represent Aira, but also to help and participate in any other way you wish.
I am copying Patti C. and Debbie S. on this so they will know you and I have
talked about them :) and so they have a heads up about our discussion
concerning possibly speaking to the parents and students. As soon as I have
made flight reservations I will send you the details. I will arrive as early
as possible, but definitely I will be there for the 7PM event.

I forgot to mention that I will be bringing some door prizes from Aira. I
can bring two or three Aftershokz bone conduction headsets if you wish.

I will go on the site and register and all that stuff. Please let me know
anything I can do to help. I look forward to seeing all y'all in a month.

Ah, but you should be aware that Aira and AT&T are partnering to have an
Aira and accessibility presentation at the AT&T store at 16 State Street on
Saturday, October 7 at 2PM. I will be the Aira ambassador at that event. Any
chance to see any of you there? Patti, are you busy or has someone already
told you about this?

I look forward to seeing everyone at the convention. Feel free to invite
folks to the AT&T event. Thanks.
