Dear AccessWorld readers,
It has been one busy, action-packed time at AccessWorld and all AFB! It seems we just wrapped up with the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and the Assistive Technology Industry Association Conference (ATIA,) and we are now turning full-force into the California State University at Northridge Conference (CSUN) and the AFB Leadership Conference (AFBLC). Speaking of conferences, AccessWorld will have conference wrap-up articles for CSUN and AFBLC in our April issue.
CSUN will be held in San Diego, California, March 21 through March 23, and AFBLC will be held in Oakland, CA April 5 through April 7 at the Oakland Marriott City Center.
This year, AFBLC is being cohosted by San Francisco's Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired and the Northern California Chapter of the Association for the Education and Rehabilitation of the Blind and Visually Impaired (AER).
Held annually, AFBLC attracts established and emerging leaders in the blindness field. Conference attendees include technology experts, corporate representatives, university professors, teachers of students with visual impairments, orientation and mobility instructors, vision rehabilitation therapists and counselors, and parents. They come from diverse organizations and institutions spanning the public and private sectors, including school districts, specialized schools for the blind, the Veterans Administration, private agencies, and universities.
I want to take this opportunity to cordially invite all our AccessWorld readers in the San Francisco Bay area to attend our conference. Please visit our conference page for agenda and full details.
Sincerely,
Lee Huffman
AccessWorld Editor-in-Chief
