Hi everyone,

Here is more information on the convention that we are linking up with for 
our first ever national convention. Again, I am chairing a roundtable 
discussion on the biggest challenges faced by visually impaired computer 
professions today. That's the only official IAVIT event but there are a 
lot of other computer related events.

Join Blind and Visually Impaired Consumers and Professionals
Going to Madison, Wisconsin on October 22-24, 2010 for the
Vision Midwest Conference

Where can you go to a blind bowling tournament and touch a 2,000 year old 
sculpture at a museum? Where can you find professional presentations on 
VIP careers and the latest in adaptive technology, cell phones and 
computers? From stem cell research to teaching with "A Tactile Guide to 
the Solar System" the first annual Vision Midwest Conference welcomes you 
with diverse programming.  Brought to you by the new nonprofit 12 State, 
Inc., the conference features VIP sports, an Assistive Technology 
Training, an APH National Instructional Partnership on Adaptive Physical 
Education and Children with Visual Impairment, and over 120 sessions 
focused on blindness and visual impairment.

So, what's it going to cost me? With hotels about $90 a night double 
occupancy (including tax) and $35 for conference registration (some 
sports, special events and ACVREP professional education credits a bit 
extra) - this is an affordable conference for you - and your family and 
friends too! You can register for the conference at 
http://www.12state.org/register

See you in October at the Vision Midwest Conference!
