FYI .



Dear members of the ACB:

I am Derek Riemer, the chair of the NVDACon Planning Committee.  
NVDACon is a global conference for the NVDA screen reader.  NVDA 
(Non Visual Desktop Access) is a free and open source screen 
reader that allows blind people around the world access to 
technology at no greater cost than their sited peers..  You can 
find out more about NVDA at http://www.nvaccess.org 
<http://www.nvaccess.org/> .  The NVDA conference started out in 
2014 so that users of the screen reader could connect and talk to 
other screen reader users around the world.  In 2015, a group of 
community members decided to set up a two weekend global 
conference that would occur during the tenth anniversary of NVDA.  
We had several events ranging from how to utilize NVDA for 
employment of blind people, new technology being developed 
allowing NVDA to interface with dictation technology, and much 
more.  You can find out about our past conferences at 
http://nvda-kr.org/en/nvdacon.php.  We are currently planning our 
first ever conference for the North American region.

The conference will be held on September the 16th and 17th and 
the schedule will be posted in a few days on our website, 
http://nvdacon-us.netne.net/.

Please feel free to share this with your co-workers and members.

Thank you

Derek Riemer
