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.</SPAN></P>
<P class=nbabodytext><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'">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 <A href="http://www.wyndham.com/groupevents2012/satst_nationalbraille/main.wnt" rel=nofollow target=_blank>click here</A>. <BR><BR></SPAN></P>
<P class=nbabodytext><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'">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.</SPAN></P>
<P class=nbabodytext><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'">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.</SPAN></P>
<P class=nbabodytext><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'">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.</SPAN></P>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri', 'sans-serif'">We look forward to seeing you in San Antonio!</SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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.</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></P>
