Subject: [vicsireland] Exploring an Accessible Digital Society (This
Saturday)
Hi all
Please see full details including programme below. I'm looking forward to
meeting anyone who is attending on Saturday.
Exploring an Accessible Digital Society
One-Day seminar
Jointly hosted by the Visually Impaired Computer Society of Ireland (VICS)
and the National Council for the Blind of Ireland (NCBI)
Location: NCBI Rehabilitation Training Centre, Whitworth Road, Drumcondra,
Dublin 9
When: Saturday 4 March - 11.00 am - 3.30 pm
We are delighted to announce details of this seminar, which will explore
innovations in a range of new and emerging technology.
Technology is becoming more connected with everything that we do, whether
we're in work, studying, on the move, or relaxing at home. We are connected
to many services and have numerous options when it comes to how we interact
with these services.
This seminar aims to discuss some current and emerging technology. There
will be lots of time for questions and hands-on with the many gadgets on
show on the day.
For further information, or to reserve your place, please contact Stuart
Lawler at NCBI on 087 9926360 or email stuart.lawler@xxxxxxx
