>> Hi Jeanine, 
>> 
>> My name is Melinda Hudson and I work as the alternate media specialist at the Texas School for the Blind and Visually Impaired here in Austin, TX.
>> 
>> I wanted to share information regarding the conference, EPIQ, which stands for Experience Programming in Quorum. 
>> 
>> Quorum is a programming language that was originally designed to be accessible to blind and visually impaired users, and was funded by the National Science Foundation. I believe this is the 9th annual, national conference and for the first time - it will be held in Texas.
>> 
>> Although this conference initially focused on the Quorum programming language, over the years, the EPIQ conference has broadened it's focus to appreciate other avenues by which accessibility can take form. 
>> 
>> While most of our attendees are teachers of blind and visually impaired students, we also have those in the computer science department as well as professionals in other fields. Anyone willing to learn is welcome to join us!
>> 
>> Please share this event with anyone that may be interested. Here is a link for more information: quorumlanguage.com

>> Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions,
