[NFBCS] Anyone going to CSUN and have tips for a first timer

[Jeffrey Stark]

My suggestion is get all the material in advance. Go through the session schedule and add it to your calendar for every session you want to go to. And also there is an orientation in the morning. Lastly I had one of my staff put some directions for the inside of the hotel together for me and I have posted this on my blog. This might be helpful in terms of initial orientation before you go. If you're there feel free to hit me up happy to chat I'm there.

I am not going this year.  I would advise planning ahead.  All the materials are available in a variety of formats from the DAISY Consortium.

I always went through and put each session on an index card, in Braille that I wanted to attend. I sorted by day and time, and kept them in order.  You won't have time between sessions to look up things in the program and decide if you are like me. You can do same for exhibits.

Usually first day, early they have an orientation to the hotel for blind or visually impaired persons. This can also be useful.

Hi All,

My company is sending me to CSUN this year. I am getting excited as Monday; March 13th comes near.

If anyone is going from our group, I thought it might be cool to meet up. And possibly attend some sessions or dine together. This being my first time to CSUN and to a conference of this magnitude, I would appreciate any pointers and tips and tricks to make the time successful and a blast. I can be reached off list at blind at trailstone.com<mailto:blind at trailstone.com>

Thanks.
