Hello Conference Friends,
The countdown has begun to the 2007 Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference. In just a few days, speakers, exhibitors and attendees will be coming together for the largest event in the world to find out what’s on the horizon for assistive technology and disabilities.
We’d like to take this opportunity to provide you with some updated information and last minute reminders.
It’s not too late to reserve a seat in the General Session of your choice. Many attendees are taking advantage of our new on-line reservation system and we encourage you to confirm a seat in the workshop you’re interested in. This is your chance to make your own personal schedule, and have it printed for you when you get your name badge.
Registration & Check-in Hours are:
Sunday, Marriott 5:30-7:30 pm
Monday, Marriott 8:00 am-4:30 pm
Tuesday, Marriott 8:00 am-8:00 pm
Hilton 3:00-8:00 pm
Wednesday, both locations 6:30 am-4:00 pm
Thursday, both locations 7:30 am-5:00 pm
Friday, both locations 7:30 am-5:00 pm
Saturday, both locations 7:30-10:00 am
When you arrive at the conference, you may proceed to “Self-Service Check-in” if you have pre-registered and paid. You will be able to access the check-in system and have your name badge printed on-site for your convenience.
We’re sure you’ll want to attend our Welcome Reception on Tuesday, March 20 at 5:30 p.m. in the Marriott. In addition to mixing and mingling, you will be treated to a wonderful performance by Jessica Callahan, the singer who serenaded us so beautifully last year, we had to invite her back for an encore! One other item on the agenda that night will be a surprise award to “someone” you may all know!
Don’t forget to save time for our Exhibit Halls, filled with an overwhelming display of products and services you’ll want to check out. Open to the public on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, you will be dazzled by the variety and volume of cutting-edge technologies and innovations.
Although there may be some minor union activity at the Hilton, we want to assure you that this situation will in no way cause any disruption to our planned activities, sessions and program. Entrances to the hotel will not be blocked and we anticipate that any activity, if it occurs, will be orderly and respectful.
Please be sure to come to the exciting new Aging Track at the Renaissance Montura Hotel. We are certain you will not only receive valuable information, but possibly some surprise “keepsakes”!
We have many other exciting events and special topical sessions in our conference schedule this year. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Conference next week and hope you will, as always, enjoy the event as much as we do!

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
Topic: Incorporating Mobile Speak Pocket into Day to Day Living
Presenter: Larry L. Lewis, Jr., Founder and President, Flying Blind LLC.
This week, the Accessible World International Tek Talk online training event is proud to present a demonstration of the many features of Mobile Speak Pocket, the first screenreader released for persons who are blind that runs on a wide array of Windows Mobile PDAs and cellular phones. Drawing upon his extensive background in product evaluation, training, and deploying adaptive technologies for consumers in a variety of educational and vocational settings, Larry Lewis will take the audience on a tour of his PDA while demonstrating how he uses this software to access an otherwise inaccessible device to perform a variety of tasks. Finally, he will conclude by illustrating how Mobile Speak Pocket offers users refreshable Braille access if they elect to use the BrailleNote as a Braille input/output device in conjunction with their PDA. He'll also be debuting HumanWare's Braille Connect Series of refreshable Braille displays as an alternative for users in the market for an affordable, portable line of Braille displays that can interact with mainstream PDAs.
Date: Monday, March 12, 2007
Time: 5:00 p.m. Pacific, 6:00 p.m. Mountain, 7:00 p.m. Central, 8:00 p.m. Eastern and Tuesday 00:00 GMT.
Where: Tek Talk Online Conference Room
Approximately 30 minutes prior to the event, go to http://www.accessibleworld.org/, and select "Enter the Tek Talk Room". Then, when the sign-in screen appears, enter your real name and press Enter.
Tell all your friends to join us. There is plenty of room for everyone.

What's New with Acrobat?
As a result of feedback from customers like you, we have enhanced the most versatile video magnifier – Acrobat. Incorporating the same rotating camera for reading, writing and magnifying images at any distance, this 3-in-1 auto focus video magnifier continues to lead the way in flexibility.
Now offering a smaller and more stable arm and clamp, you will definitely notice the improvement in stability therefore; this will dramatically reduce vibration. The new arm which is 4” shorter in total length uses a more stable solid post which can only be used with the clamp that accompanies it. These improvements along with the wonderful features currently offered have definitely set the Acrobat apart from the competition. We appreciate your suggestions and will continue to enhance our products for your maximum benefit.
