Meet Me in St. Louis 


Gateway to the West

October  27, 28, and 29, 2016

 

Registration is now open!

 

 

The National Braille Association is pleased to announce that we will be
heading to St. Louis, Missouri for our 2016 professional development
conference.  Known as the Gateway to the West, the Gateway Arch greets
visitors to this cultural and historic city! St. Louis boasts of historic
and cultural attractions, many of which are free. Get a glimpse of where
Lewis and Clark set out on their historic expedition by visiting the Lewis &
Clark Boat House and Nature Center, or the Lewis & Clark monument on the
Missouri River. Interact with butterflies at the Sophia M Sachs Butterfly
House.  Roam the Missouri Botanical Garden, a National Historic Landmark
with 79 acres of scenic landscaping and elegant structures. Journey to the
top of the Gateway Arch, our nation’s tallest man-made monument at 630 feet.
Relax on a Riverboat cruise; or immerse yourself in a little arts and
culture. If you are feeling adventuresome, there is a wealth of attractions
to see and experience. 

 

Our host hotel is the St. Louis Union Station, once the largest and busiest
passenger rail terminal in the world. Today, this 120 year old National
Historic Landmark of unmatched beauty and elegance is home to the St. Louis
Union Station Hotel – a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel.  

 

Once again, we are looking forward to 30 exciting workshops.  With the
Unified English Braille Code as our focus, there is a lot to learn! Topics
will include but are not limited to UEB, textbook and Nemeth format, music,
computer-assisted transcription and tactile graphics.  Just to pique your
interest here are a few of the sessions being developed just for you:

·         Mathematics:  Nemeth in UEB

·         Tactile Graphics: Tactile Graphics for Young Readers

·         Music Braille: Music Theory Textbooks in UEB

·         Formats: Formats and UEB

·         Computer Assisted: Workshops available for Braille 2000 and

This is the ONLY NBA conference this year! Don’t miss out!
