[nabs-l] Streaming for National Convention

Hi all,

The convention streaming also airs on an app called iBlink Radio.  
Some of you may have heard of it.  It's an app for the IOS 
operating system that broadcasts related to technology and 
anything else blindness-related, including the convention 
streaming.  I know because I actually listened to some of last 
year's banquet via iBlink Radio.  I won't be able to this year, 
though, because we'll be in Spain and the banquet will be late at 
night (six hours ahead of UddS.  Eastern Daylight time).  I'm 
just writing to let you know of another way you can access the 
streaming directly.

I've never listened to the stream on the NFB's website, but I'm 
guessing that downloading iBlink Radio from the Apple App Store 
and accessing it from there is easier to do, since all you have 
to do is open the app and choose to listen to the stream, which, 
I believe, is one of the first options displayed.  Correct me if 
I'm wrong here, but I suppose that to stream via the NFB's 
website is more complicated, as you probably have to click on 
several links and open various webpages to get to the stream.

I just thought I'd let everyone know of a simpler (at least for 
me) way to access the convention stream.

Have a wonderful time at convention, whether you're listening to 
it or attending!

Sami

 The national center folks tell me that this arrangement will 
continue.  The general sessions, board meeting and banquet will 
be streamed on the Nfb website.  No word on the nabs meeting so 
far as I am aware.

 Typically certain sessions such as general session, the meeting

 I don't know if this arrangement is to continue but if it is, 
and announcement will no doubt be forthcoming.
