2013 ACB National Conference & Convention Agenda

Available on NFB-NEWSLINE

Convention-goers, weÂ've got some great news for you! We are pleased to 
announce that once again the entire agenda of the American Council of the 
BlindÂ's national conference and convention will be available on 
NFB-NEWSLINE, helping you to make the most of this event. With the 
availability of the agenda, you can quickly and easily determine what 
options are available at a particular time and find when and where a desired 
meeting will occur. We believe that this will make it easy to plan your 
convention scheduleÂ-made even easier with access using iPhone, NFB-NEWSLINE 
Mobile, available by visiting the app store on your device.


You can access the agenda in many different waysÂ-by download to your 
digital talking book player of choice with NFB-NEWSLINE In Your Pocket, by 
reading it on Web News on Demand, and, of course, by using your cell phone 
on the go.

To access the agenda on the phone youÂ'll want to dial either the number you 
regularly use or the phone number for unlimited access with a cell phone at 
646-600-6969. From the main menu select option number five and select Â"National 
Meetings of Interest to the Print-DisabledÂ" (which is labeled option number 
five). From there, select number 1 for the American Council of the Blind 
agenda.

With the availability of our on-demand article-request feature, you can now 
request that details of a certain meeting or event be sent to your e-mail 
account; you can in this way set up your own agenda tailored to your 
interests and obligations. To use this feature, when listening to an article 
press #9 (pound nine) and the desired article will be sent to your e-mail 
inbox automatically, assuming your e-mail address is provided in your 
NFB-NEWSLINE account.

With NFB-NEWSLINE In Your Pocket, you can have the full agenda on one small 
device, providing increased portability and effortless access. You can 
easily scan through each day to learn what meetings and events are of 
interest and determine your schedule for the day. In order to download the 
agenda to your digital talking-book player, youÂ'll need to add the agenda 
to your favorites. This can be done online via our favorites management tool 
under the link for Â"Manage Your In Your Pocket Favorite Publications.Â" 
Naturally, youÂ'll need to download the NFB-NEWSLINE In Your Pocket 
software, available at www.nfbnewslineonline.org, onto your computer before 
you can place this content on your device. After youÂ've logged in, select 
the link for Newsline In Your Pocket, which takes you to an informational 
page with software download links.

Web News on Demand allows you to easily search for a particular meeting or 
event when viewing the full agenda on one screen, or you can view each day 
individually. You can also have the contents of the full agenda or a 
particular day or event e-mailed to yourself, and you are now able to 
download a zip file of the agenda to your portable note-taking device (such 
as the Braille Note). To access Web News on Demand and the special features 
it offers, visit www.nfbnewslineonline.org and select Â"Web News on DemandÂ"
