Hi There,

I thought you might be interested in the Microsoft seminars coming up in the

Thank you.

 Accessibility Learning Webinars
At Microsoft, our mission is to empower every person and organization on the
planet to achieve more. We are committed to delivering great experiences and
customer service to people with disabilities. We have received feedback from
many of our customers asking for training on the accessibility features of
our products. Our team also understands not all our customers have the
flexibility to connect with Microsoft accessibility experts at conferences. 
In response to overwhelming demand, we are launching a monthly webinar
series to empower every customer with accessibility knowledge. Each month we
will bring an interactive online event where any customer with a disability
can learn about the latest Microsoft accessibility features, productivity
tips for school and work, or technology that enables a more independent and
full life. Each webinar will last one hour and is divided into two parts.
First, guest presenters from Microsoft product teams will demonstrate how to
use technology through a live video broadcast. Then, attendees and
presenters will participate in a moderated question and answer session. Read
on to find out about upcoming events and register.
