CSUN Assistive Technology Conference is the largest gathering of accessibility technology, inclusive design, education, and rehabilitation leaders from around the world. It’s known for developing community relations and the conversations within hallways and coffee breaks are as important as those from a podium.
There could be a dozen presentations happening at any time and we meet as we from one room to another. This year, there will be a new opportunity to network and share resources. Some of the rooms will have a series of similar talks. Stay in the rooms and network with those who have a similar interest.
