The National Braille Association (NBA) invites you to join us for this fall’s 
Professional Development Conference.  The conference kicks-off on Thursday, 
October 25, at 8:30 a.m. with the first of six workshop sessions.  The workshops 
provide opportunities for networking and refreshing skills, learning more 
efficient methods to do our work, and discussing our unique skills with others 
working in the same field. All aspects of braille transcription will be covered 
including mathematics, music, textbooks, tactile graphics, and more.
Our host hotel is The St. Anthony Riverwalk Wyndham Hotel. Reservations should 
be made on or before September 27, 2012, to receive our special room rate of 
$109.00 per night.  Call 210-227-4392 and reference our group ID of 1021801NB to 
make your reservations today!  If you prefer to make your reservation online, 
please click here.  

Workshops fill up quickly, and some are limited in the number of participants 
who may attend. We encourage you to pre-register for workshops before October 5, 
2012, to be assured of your first choices and personal copies of the workshop 
materials. Braille and large print materials are prepared for those who need 
them only when they are registered by September 21, 2012. The Registration Desk 
opens Thursday, October 25, 2012, at 7:00 A.M.
When registering for the conference, you have the option to eat on your own or 
to select the meal package.  We would really like to have everyone with us for 
the meals.  Eating together provides an opportunity for networking that is not 
possible from within the constraints of the classroom.  Many transcribers learn 
of job opportunities while talking to others over a meal, in addition to the 
chance to make new friends.
NBA is excited to be offering a one-day session on Saturday, October 27, 
designed specifically for educators (TB-VI Event).  If you are registering for 
this one-day event, lunch is included in the cost of registration.
We look forward to seeing you in San Antonio!
PLEASE NOTE: We have reached capacity seating for the pre-conference tour 
scheduled for Wednesday evening and registration is no longer available for the 
tour.
