The Great Big List from the 2013 CSUN International Technology & Persons with Disabilities Conference

Time again for the CSUN (California State University, Northridge) Annual International Technology and Persons with Disabilities Conference.

    Hi Christopher, thanks for mentioning the Hindenburg Audio Creator demo option on your blog. We are new to the field but really excited to share our vision with anyone working with DAISY book production. Our tool will support workflow for sound engineers with visual disabilities and we’d love feedback and input from interested parties at CSUN.

    Thanks again, and I hope we meet up.
    Best Chris (hopping on a plane from Copenhagen in 10 minutes 😉

    Thanks for posting the links to Deque’s CSUN info! There’s one evening event I wanted to post here to promote. There will be drinks 😉

    An Amazing Evening…
    We’d also like to share some more information with you about our Amazing Evening even at CSUN from 6:30-8:30pm on Wednesday, February 27th in the Deque Ballroom (Manchester C). Join us for light refreshments and some amazing entertainment:

    Guitarist Mark Goffeney will be performing. Mark is an American musician from San Diego, California, known as “Big Toe” because, being born without arms, he plays guitar with his feet.
    There will be an appearance by special guest Derek Rabelo, the star of the upcoming documentary Beyond Sight, the Derek Rabelo story.
    And Deque Systems will be making some very special announcements you won’t want to miss.
    An Amazing Evening t-Shirt is required for admission. You can pick up your t-shirt at CSUN, before the event, in the Deque Ballroom. See you there!

    Thanks again! I’ll be sure to send my presentation slides when they’re done 🙂
