Good Morning,
Save the date for the 2024 Libraries Without Walls adaptive technologies conference in Lansing, MI. This conference is offered every 2 years and generally attracts between 200-300 individuals. We often see a mix of attendees including individuals with low or no vision, caregivers looking for more information, and professionals such as librarians and teachers.
Join us for the chance to brush up on accessible technologies, visit with vendors offering various low vision products and services, and see what's new!
Please feel free to post this flyer<https://docs.google.com/document/d/10vdh_RZ8vfkX4vS8NBP0ewK7a8XGeH2-lRkA0NNm8eA/edit?usp=sharing> in your libraries to promote this program to your patrons and register staff to join us. Registration will open within 1 week so keep a look out for follow-up details. Cost to attend is $15 and includes a boxed lunch.
