Closing the Gap has a huge annual assistive technology conference in
Minneapolis, the next one is October 16-20, 2001. Great exhibits and
networking with the designers and creators and users of the technology. Last
year, the conference was held in Bloomington, MN, just south of Minneapolis.
Plan to attend this nearby fantastic conference. An eye-opener and diversity
incorporated.
