In addition, you’ll see in-depth demonstrations of the Apple TV, the brand new KNFB Reader ap for the iPhone, find out just how far Android has came in terms of accessibility and much more. Not to mention, you’ll have the opportunity to network with assistive technology professionals, vendors, blind students and others using AT on a regular basis. Oh, and did I mention door prizes? The Technology symposium is a free event but if you pay the $5 registration fee you’ll be eligible to have your name entered to win over $300 worth of awesome tech related door prizes, including an Apple TV. So, what are you waiting for? Start making plans to attend and help us spread the word! Whether you’re a blind individual, teacher, student, parent, assistive technology trainer, rehabilitation professional or a coordinator of a disability office at a college or university; you’re sure to come away with an abundance of new knowledge, and more empowered to make informed choices in regards to selecting the right equipment to meet your needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The Technology Symposium will be held at the Crown Plaza Hotel (Russell Shelby Room) in Louisville on September 26, from 9:00 Am to 5:00 PM, with the TAD business meeting to follow.
