Megan Dodd: So, this is my first AFB conference and so what I'm really excited about is getting that other perspective of the blind experience. And I'm very passionate about technology and education so knowing what's new and innovative that's out there that's helping to educate blind people and also educate for the blind experience. So, like, accessibility—things like that. And then, learning about the technology that's very, very exciting. So, new applications, new programs, new opportunities—I think that's really cool.
I'm very excited to be here, very excited to connect with a bunch of other people that are movers and shakers.
