**Techshare 2005 Call for Papers Reminder - Closing Date 1 August
Techshare 2005 will be held: 17 - 18 November at Jury's Inn, Birmingham, UK.
The Techshare 2005 Conference is an international event for professionals
who are interested in technology and the role it plays in learning, work and
life for people with sight problems. Organised by the Royal National
Institute of the Blind, Techshare is a fantastic opportunity to meet in a
friendly atmosphere with experts and other professionals in your field.
The conference will be arranged within the broad themes of Learning, Work
and Life. Presentations should relate to technology but not necessarily be
technical in content.
We are looking for insight into leading edge technology research and
development, as well as presentations around technology specifically
relating to disability and case studies highlighting the use of technology.
We hope to offer delegates a range of technical depth to match their
experience, to interest those without significant knowledge of disability
technology, as well as the experts in the field.
The content group are also looking for submissions around certain 'hot
topics' they are:
* Telephone and communications technology
* E-Government and e-Citizenship
* Technology for living
* Inclusive practice - building accessibility into the mainstream
* Audio and music in the 21st century
* To WCAG and beyond - accessible web is not boring web
* Real world tools to support e-accessibility standards
* Access to innovative technologies
* Culture, leisure, art and creativity
Successful speakers will be offered a reduced rate on their conference fee
of £130 for the full conference or £95 for one day.
