> >> EXPO 2008, a year-long virtual conference for the visual impairment
> >>
> >> industry. Through the integration of accessible web-conferencing,

> >>
> >> entertainment events, all from any sound-enabled computer with access to

> >>
> >> "The OcuSource EXPO fulfils many needs of the vision impairment
> >>
> >> industry" states Dr. Lou Lipschultz, founder of OcuSource.com. "The key
> >>
> >> here is that there are around 14 million individuals in the United
> >>
> >> States with some form of vision loss. Yet, we estimate that less than a
> >>
> >> total of 10,000 visually impaired persons attend the five major vision
> >>
> >> impairment tradeshows in U.S. There is obviously a significant access
> >>
> >> issue here," stated Lipschultz, a low vision specialist and former
> >>
> >> executive of one of the manufacturers of technology for the visually
> >>
> >> impaired. "Lack of awareness, transportation, and financial constraints
> >>
> >> contribute to poor attendance by both consumers and professionals.
> >>
> >> OcuSource is now bringing the conference to attendees around the world,
> >>
> >> and we're doing it all through an interactive online venue designed
> >>
> >> specifically for low vision and blind users."
> >>
> >> The "virtual conference center" is provided by sister company,
> >>
> >> LetsGoExpo, and is constructed to seamlessly work with software called a
> >>
> >> screenreader such as Jaws or WindowEyes. Users easily navigate through
> >>
> >> "presentation halls" and "exhibit halls" allowing the visitor to find
> >>
> >> his or her way to the topic of interest. Presentation halls are
> >>
> >> organized by topic including macular degeneration, education and
> >>
> >> employment resources. Exhibit halls are filled with "booths" staffed by
> >>
> >> manufacturers, vendors, agencies, organizations, and other entities
> >>
> >> eager to share information about their services and products. Attendees
> >>
> >> can also speak directly to booth representatives over the internet via
> >>
> >> the integrated web conferencing tool from venture partner Talking
> >>
> >> Communities, which allows the exhibitor to show PowerPoint and video
> >>
> >> presentations from within their booth.
> >>
> >> Visitors who are unable to attend the live portion of the conference can
> >>
> >> still experience all the benefits around the clock through archived
> >>
> >> streamed videos of the presentations which will be available for 12
> >>
> >> months after the live presentation.
> >>
> >> "Our greatest challenge is getting the word out around the world of this

> >>
> >> of low vision, blindness and senior oriented sites will share the
> >>
> >> availability of this valuable resource with their visitors" describes
